Floobits Diff Shipper

For OS X and Linux.

Development status: Abandoned. Replaced by floomatic.

Original README follows

This program monitors a directory for changed files using FSEvents or inotify. When any file changes, it calculates the operational transformation and sends it to a remote server. Likewise, it also does the reverse: applies operational transformations sent from the remote server to local files.

Build Instructions

Dependencies

To build, you'll need automake, Jansson>=2.4, libcurl, pthreads, Lua 5.2 or later, and pkg-config. Linux users need libinotifytools-dev.

OS X

brew install automake jannson pkg-config

Since homebrew only has Lua 5.1 right now, OS X users will have to download and install Lua from source.

Ubuntu

apt-get install -y automake build-essential libcurl4-openssl-dev libinotifytools-dev libjansson-dev liblua5.2-dev lua5.2 pkg-config

Building

git clone https://github.com/Floobits/diffshipper.git
cd diffshipper
./autogen.sh

Building requires Jansson version 2.4 or greater. If you have an older version of Ubuntu, apt-get might install an incompatible version of Jansson. If this happens, you'll have to apt-get purge libjansson-dev and install Jansson from source.
