mirroring

I am implementing backup scripts in python. I'm trying to keep things cross platform. I hear there is a python based rsync implementation: http://pypi.python.org/pypi/rsync.py But I can't seem to find it anywhere. All of the download links I find are dead. Does anyone know where I could find the rsync.py program? At the moment I am using unison for Windows but I would like to try rsync.py Alternative : pysync - implementation of the rsync and related algorithms in pure Python, and a high speed librsync Python extension http://freshmeat.net/projects/pysync/ Another alternative: http://code

As far as i know SQL Server provides 4 techniques for better availability. I think these are the primary usage scenarios, in summary :- 1) Replication would be primarily suited for online-offline data synchronization scenarios (laptop , mobile devices, remote servers). 2) Log shipping could be used to have a failover server with manual switching, whereas 3) Database Mirroring is an automatic failover technique 4) Failover Clustering is an advanced type of database mirroring. Am i right ? Thanks. Failover clustering is an availability technology that provides redundancy at the hardware level

I and my small team work in Git, and the larger group uses Subversion. I'd like to schedule a cron job to publish our repositories current HEAD s every hour into a certain directory in the SVN repo. I thought I had this figured out, but the recipe I wrote down previously doesn't seem to be working now: git clone ssh://me@gitserver/git-repo/Projects/ProjX px2 cd px2 svn mkdir --parents http://me@svnserver/svn/repo/play/me/fromgit/ProjX git svn init -s http://me@svnserver/svn/repo/play/me/fromgit/ProjX git svn fetch git rebase trunk master git svn dcommit Here's what happens when I attempt: %

I'm trying to set up a darcs mirror of a git repository. I have something that works OK, but there's a significant problem: if I push a whole bunch of commits to the git repo, those commits get merged into a single darcs patchset. I really want to make sure each git commit gets set up as a single darcs patchset. I bet this is possible by doing some kind of git fetch followed by interrogation of the local copy of the remote branch, but my git fu is not up to the job. Here's the (ksh) code I'm using now, more or less: git pull -v # pulls all the commits from remote --- bad! # gets information

a design / architectural question on airplay. I have setup an external display in the AppDelegate: UIScreen *externalScreen = UIScreen.screens.lastObject; self.externalWindow = [[UIWindow alloc] initWithFrame:externalScreenFrame]; self.externalWindow.screen = externalScreen; self.externalWindow.backgroundColor = [UIColor redColor]; Works fine, TV shows an empty screen in red. Now I have a ViewController with a bunch of subviews, and one view should be shown on the device and the external screen. If I try this in ViewController.m: [_appDelegate.externalWindow addSubview:self.deviceAndTVView];

Here's what I'm trying to do: I have a GitHub repository, a portion of which I'd like to make web viewable. Right now I've cloned the repository on my own server and it works well, but in order to keep it up to date, I have to manually login and pull the latest changes. I'm not sure if this is the best idea (or the best approach), but I'd like the remote server to automatically pull whenever someone pushes to repository. GitHub makes it easy enough to run a script when someone pushes, but I'm not sure how to pull once someone does that. I was using PHP for simplicity, but just doing something

When a new developer joins the team, or Jenkins runs a complete build, I need to create a fresh virtualenv. I often find that setting up a virtualenv with Pip and a large number (more than 10) of requirements takes a very long time to install everything from PyPI. Often it fails altogether with: Downloading/unpacking Django==1.4.5 (from -r requirements.pip (line 1)) Exception: Traceback (most recent call last): File "/var/lib/jenkins/jobs/hermes-web/workspace/web/.venv/lib/python2.6/site-packages/pip-1.2.1-py2.6.egg/pip/basecommand.py", line 107, in main status = self.run(options, args) File "
