concurrency problems

Hallo Ernesto,

Different instances of Syncany (assuming different computer names!!) never
access the same files on the server. Each instance/computer writes its own
update file. So there are no concurrency issues here.

The only file that is written by multiple clients is the repository-* file.
But since this only happens if new shared folders are added, it is very
unlikely to be overwritten.

The "downloading files" issue only occurs when the computer name of the "new
instance" is the same as the previous one -- because syncany assumes that
you are the same guy.

Did that answer your questions?

Cheers,
Philipp

Ok, but I don't understand because I can't download from server, my syncany
version is the "lp:syncany", maybe this version isn't the last.
I have saw the newsync version but I haven't found the build file and don't
know compile the Syncany.

Sorry if these questions are absurd.

Well, after looking at the list be seen that indeed the latest version is
newsync and is built with maven. I just need to know how to compile and run
Syncany this way.
I would appreciate if you can explain briefly.

Thanks!

ok, then I'll wait to trunk version because it's true that this version has errors yet.

Thank you for your answers.
