Unison 2.48.3 compiled for Sailfish
 

Here I paste the unison 2.48.3 compiled for Sailfish OS / Jolla:
https://yadi.sk/d/PtAhXBf0kRwKh

It is just a binary file which can be run putting it in your path or calling it since where it is. I suggest to read
http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/u...on-manual.html set up the profiles in a pc and then copy into ~/.unison

It is a good tool to synchronize files with a computer I used it every week in my maemo (n900): http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=27426

It does not have any GUI.

[Edit 2015-11-30:
Here I paste the unison 2.48.3 compiled for Sailfish OS / Jolla with ocalm 4.01 instead of ocalm 4.02:

(There is some bug in connections between unison compiled with ocalm 4.01 and 4.02, just in case)]

Edit 2015-12-7:
Now Unison can be downloaded from this repository done by Temev:
zypper ar -f http://repo.merproject.org/obs/home:...ev:unison.repo

I have added a very "home made" GUI for unison at this repository:
https://openrepos.net/content/antoniovr/sailuni
It is still too simple (I don't know if it has any advantage from the text script...), I will add some brief profile edition capability, and publish source code in case someone wants to go on. I think this GUI can be done in minutes by someone with experience hehehe.

What's the advantage over rsync&cron?

AFAIU you need to have unison running also in the remote end, which means you have to build&install it twice... and rsync already is available just about everywhere...

Re: Unison 2.48.3 compiled for Sailfish
 

Deleted or renamed files combined to two way syncing (where changes can happen in any end) are difficult with rsync. Unison solves that problem.

It is available in repos of many distros, so most likely no need to build it for the remote end.

Thanks, I use unison to two-way-sync my music on my systems. Now I can have my phone in the loop again :)

Any chance you can put it on openrepos.net?

Btw, while there's no GUI on Jolla, you can use a GUI on your desktop. As it is two-way-sync, it doesn't matter which end initiates the sync.

Re: Unison 2.48.3 compiled for Sailfish
 

For bidirectional sync I prefer unison. If there exists any dist not having unison on their repos i dont know...

By the way, is it ok the version for you? I mean in debian jessie is still the 2.40 (i guess there will be soon a backport), but i can compile 2.40 if it is needed (2.46 changed something and you can not use 2.40 with 2.48)

about the openrepos i will see how to create the rpm and how it works, but probably it will be once my jolla phone arrives!!!

Re: Unison 2.48.3 compiled for Sailfish
 

I have spent some hours trying unsuccesfully to build an rpm through mb2 or from rpmbuild following advices in "google". Do you have any 5 min guide for including just a precompiled binary?

Anyway, you can download the unison file and just put in a bin directory under your home...

Re: Unison 2.48.3 compiled for Sailfish
 

I tried to build it in Mer OBS, but I think I messed building Ocaml somehow. I get this error when running ocamlc:
Could you tell how Ocaml should be built for Sailfish?

Re: Unison 2.48.3 compiled for Sailfish
 

I just built it with:
and it built in MerSDK without any problem. These are the files installed (I haven't been able to make an rpm, if you have an example of rpm build without qml like this kind of program, I would thank you if you share it to show what i am doing wrong...):


For instance, this is the installing step in make install of ocalm-4.01.0 for armv7hl architecture


Do you want I upload somewhere the following tar file for making a "dirty installation"?

Re: Unison 2.48.3 compiled for Sailfish
 

That doesn't help on building in OBS. I can't install the files there like that.

But I figured out the problem, I just had to tell it to install files to /usr/ instead of /usr/local which is the default.

Binary available here: http://repo.merproject.org/obs/home:...mv7hl/armv7hl/

After all this effort I of course realize that this version is not compatible with the one on my server and other devices... So I didn't really test this one. Please tell me if it works :)

Spec files for building it can be found in https://build.merproject.org/project...e:temev:unison I copied the spec files from Fedora and modified to fit this purpose.

Re: Unison 2.48.3 compiled for Sailfish
 

Ill test it and tell you, but it will have to be tomorrow :(. I use computers that have 2.40 (jessie) and also 2.48 (stretch), so I can try both versions.

By the way i was replying an older version of your poast (before you succeded to build it), and so, i will copy here what i modified in the makefile. I used NATIVE=false and UISTYLE=text
Did you have to do the same (i mean about NATIVE). I will also read your spec to see what I was doing wrong while trying to produce a rpm
package.
