[Replicator-users] How to use "repli-sync"

[Bernd H. <bj...@da...>]

Hello,

I have replicated two hosts (frodo, giga) from one modell-most (bilbo)
using the cvs version from replicator. Now I have made some changes to
the modell and want to synchronice the replicated hosts.

This mail describes how I try to get repli-sync working. At the end
there are some new files an the model (bilbo) missing on the replicat
(frodo).

It would be nice if you can give me a hint, how I get the hosts
completly synchronizes with repli-sync. If you need some additional
information or if I can do some tests I like to do it.

Thanke
Bernd

On "frodo" I have the following repli-sync.conf:

frodo:~# cat /etc/replicator/repli-sync.conf=20
$model =3D "bilbo";
$nousr =3D 0;
$noboot =3D 1;
$norcd =3D 1;

#do not remove the following line..
$the_end=3D1;


If I try to start repli-sync I get the following error:
frodo:~# /usr/share/replicator/repli-sync=20
Name "main::share_dir_on_server" used only once: possible typo at /usr/shar=
e/replicator/repli-sync line 41.
Can't exec "/repli-update": No such file or directory at /usr/share/replica=
tor/repli-sync line 41.


The I try to set the variable $share_dir_on_server in repli-sync.conf
on frodo to /usr/share/replicator, where i have found repli-update:

frodo:~# cat /etc/replicator/repli-sync.conf=20
$share_dir_on_server =3D "/usr/share/replicator";
$model =3D "bilbo";
$nousr =3D 0;
$noboot =3D 1;
$norcd =3D 1;

#do not remove the following line..
$the_end=3D1;

frodo:~# /usr/share/replicator/repli-sync=20
Name "main::share_dir_on_server" used only once: possible typo at /usr/shar=
e/replicator/repli-sync line 41.

It seems that repli-update wants am /etc/replicator/replicator.conf.
But this file is on the modell (bilbo) and was not copied to frodo
during initial replication.

Now I copy the /etc/replicator/replicator.conf from bilbo to frodo.
Next try I got:

frodo:/etc/replicator# /usr/share/replicator/repli-sync=20
Name "main::share_dir_on_server" used only once: possible typo at /usr/shar=
e/replicator/repli-sync line 41.
dpkg: warning, architecture `i386-none' not in remapping table
Can't locate /etc/replicator/update_rules at /usr/share/replicator/repli-up=
date line 56.

Ok. I also copy /etc/replicator/update_rules form bilbo to frodo.
After that, repli-sync seems to work, may file names are scrolling over
the window. But not all new files seems to be copied:

bilbo:/home/bernd# whereis lyx
lyx: /usr/bin/lyx /usr/share/lyx /usr/share/man/man1/lyx.1.gz

frodo:/etc/replicator# whereis lyx
lyx:
