Basically I'd like to set up rsync to keep a folder in sync with a folder on a server. Easier said than done, at least for this noob...

I tried to install rsync compiled for Harmattan from here.

However I got the following error:

Code:

dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of rsync:
 rsync depends on base-files (>= 4.0.1); however:
  Version of base-files on system is 3.1.osso2+3.1.10.osso45+0m6.

I read here that this error shouldn't occur, and someone claimed to have force-installed it successfully. So I did that:

Code:

dpkg -i --force-all rsync_3.0.3-2_armel.deb

and it installed with some warnings about missing dependencies.

However after setting up some config files as detailed here I tried running rsync and got the following error:

Code:

/etc # /etc/init.d/rsync start
Starting rsync daemon: rsyncrsync daemon failed to start ... failed!
 failed!

I guess those dependencies matter after all? Now I'm stuck....

What happens if you just run "rsync --help"? You can also run "ldd /path/to/rsync" to see which libraries are missing.

Immediately above link is dead, but newer rsync is at rzr
section of https://build.pub.meego.com/

I installed rsync_3.0.9-1.0~rzr1_armel.deb and find it works as user, but not as root. No great loss, as I suppose Aegis would never let me do a full restore anyway.

Am still sad there does not seem to be a working APT "extras" repository for this kind of thing.

I disagree. Command-line utilities and libraries should not be in the "store".
I don't want an icon (too many already!!).

An app doesnt really need an icon. I have several apps in the store who do not have an icon (see the rotation apps in my signature).
Also, why do you not create a folder with the unused apps?

A GUI for rsync would be great. I usually access my N9/N950 anyway through SSH for file transfers (Dont like that I have to close all my apps before I can mount MyDocs as USB device).

Since I have a diskstation, rsync would be a great tool to daily/weekly backup all my phones data.

If somebody looks at the rsync part, I could help with a QML/Python GUI

I just submitted a version to ovi ...

a qml frontend to rsync would be welcome ... I thought about that once to provide a remote backup tool ...
