Information about tsync is here: http://tsyncd.sourceforge.net/ I wasn't able to compile from CVS due to the following error: g++ -O2 -g -I../ -D_REENTRANT -D_THREAD_SAFE -D_PTHREAD -D__USE_UNIX98 -D_GNU_SOURCE -Wall -Werror -pthread -c -o utils.o utils.cc ar rc libmace.a Accumulator.o Base64.o Crypto.o FileUtil.o LoadMonitor.o Log.o LogSelector.o mace.o MaceKey.o MailUtil.o NumberGen.o Params.o Printable.o RandomUtil.o Scheduler.o Serializable.o SockUtil.o StrUtil.o SysUtil.o ThreadCreate.o Util.o utils.o make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/tro/download/src/mace/lib' make[2]: Entering directory `/home/tro/download/src/mace/compiler' yacc -t -b mace -d mace.y yacc: 21 rules never reduced yacc: 5 shift/reduce conflicts, 2 reduce/reduce conflicts. g++ -g -DYYDEBUG=1 -Wall -Werror -pthread -c -o mace-conv.o mace-conv.cc flex -omace-lex.c mace.l gcc -g -DYYDEBUG=1 -Wall -Werror -c -o mace-lex.o mace-lex.c gcc -g -DYYDEBUG=1 -Wall -Werror -c -o mace.tab.o mace.tab.c mace.tab.c: In function `yyparse': mace.tab.c:1030: warning: suggest parentheses around assignment used as truth value mace.tab.c:1091: warning: label `yyerrlab' defined but not used mace.tab.c: At top level: mace.tab.c:3: warning: 'yyrcsid' defined but not used make[2]: *** [mace.tab.o] Error 1 make[2]: Leaving directory `/home/tro/download/src/mace/compiler' make[1]: *** [compiler] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/tro/download/src/mace' make: *** [mace/compiler/XmlRpc/xmlrpcc] Error 2 Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3.

You want someone to work and can't say why and give a description, but provide only a link - not very nice.
I don't mean to be disrespectful. I don't know what the procedure for new package requests is. It's not mentioned in http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/bugzilla-howto.xml anyway. The description is on the web site. But I guess I could summarize. Tsync is like rsync, but it allows you to synchronize n machines (as opposed to two) automatically by specifying rules. This would be useful for keeping the same portage tree among machines not on the same network, for example. In my case, I'd like to keep a couple of folders on my laptop mirrored on my desktop machine and at work, so I have the same documents everywhere. I can take a stab at an ebuild, but I've never written one. It wouldn't help anyway, since I have no clue how to solve the compilation problem. The suggestion on the forums was that it's a yacc issue, so maybe the maintainer of that package could help?
Open a new and meaningful bug, please. We are not interested in error messages produced by packages that are not in portage.
