[Zope] Collaborative syncing?

Jaroslav,

I've been rather happy with Zsync. It will tell you when files are different
versions between source and server. You could set up Zsync'ing to be
bidirectional (e.g., DEVEL --> PROD and PROD --> DEVEL), then you'd go into
whatever instance you wish to push the changes from.

It is a push mechanism, but it's amazingly useful and robust. After adding
the appropriate methods in my Zsyncer, I was actually able to use it to copy
an entire site from one server to another. (In this case, it caused a nasty
loop because I had a Virtual Site Root and Squid sitting in front of it, but
that was my configuration, and I was able to fix it.)

In our case, we have DEVEL-->TEST-->PROD, and occasionally I set
PROD-->DEVEL. (I turn it off when not needed.)

requires that changes are only made at one place.

  ZSyncing is an unidirectional process only.
