Hi,
I've been working with zsyncer and two features were a must for me.
1? RETAIN OWNERSHIP: when a user performs a sync, the objects created on target/destination either get their ownership from the account used to do the sync or from the override (username,password) option on "Edit Server" tab.What I needed was for the sync to DO NOT take ownership on synced objects but rather retain existing ownerhip of the synced objects.
For this I made changes to ZSyncer/dtml/Edit.dtml and ZSyncer/ZSyncer.py to be able to have this feature available. (snip)
This is very appreciated, thanks!
IMPORTANT: the option you choose, either take ownership or retain ownership, this option must be selected in the same way on source and target servers for this to work as expected. Dont ask.
ok, if you say so :-)
2? SELECT ALL: have to sync folders with LOT of objects. I needed a "select all" button.
ZSyncer has had this in CVS for some months now. It's labelled "Toggle" and it sits right next to the "Sync" button.
I used ZSyncer 0.4.6.
whoops... it would have been better if you used a cvs checkout from sourceforge. There have been a lot of changes since 0.4.6. We've been overdue for a new tarball release for many months.
I dont know who maintains the ZSyncer code (Is it Andy on zope.org or zopezen and others on sourceforge?),
Andy == zopezen, and he hasn't done much with zsyncer lately - by default I (slinkp) am now doing the most work on it. I'm very interested in merging your first change with the cvs tree, I will look at this sometime in the next week if you don't beat me to it. Thanks for working on zsyncer! It's a useful tool that could really use more helping hands. -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com Look! Up in the sky! It's MEGA RONALD REGAN! (random hero from isometric.spaceninja.com)
