This is a new upstream= release. About Unison ------------ Unison is a file synchronizer for Unix and Windows. It allows two replicas of a collection of files and directories to be stored on different hosts (or on different disks on the same host), modified separately, and then brought up to date by propagating the changes in each replica to the other. Unison packages in Cygwin ------------------------- Unison is packaged for Cygwin as several independent packages, each providing a version of Unison that is incompatible with the others. You have to run compatible versions of Unison on the client and server, or Unison will issue an error message and quit. Two versions of Unison are compatible if and only if the first two numbers in their version strings are the same. For example, all versions 2.32.* are mutually compatible, and incompatible with versions 2.27.*. By installing one or more of these packages side by side, you can use whichever one you need to synchronize with a particular host. Please read /usr/share/doc/unison*/README.Cygwin for more details. The unison* packages install a convenience symlink from /usr/bin/unison to one of the versioned unison executables, e.g. unison-2.27.exe. alternatives(8) is used to manage the symlink. If the symlink is being managed in "auto" mode, then it will automatically track the highest numbered version of unison that you have installed. You can override this by either changing the symlink manually with ln(1), or, preferably, by using alternatives(8): alternatives --display unison shows you the installed versions of unison, their priorities, which executable the symlink points to, and whether the symlink is being managed in "auto" or "manual" mode. alternatives --config unison presents a menu from which you can choose which version you want to use as the default. This puts the symlink in manual mode. alternatives --auto unison puts the symlink in automatic mode, where it will always point to the highest numbered version of unison that's installed on your host. alternatives --set unison /usr/bin/unison-$V.exe forces the symlink to point to unison-$V.exe, and puts it in manual mode. Please see alternatives(8) for more details. Andrew E.
