12:41:13 # Life My first lsyncd session. After having played with the non-running source code for a few days, I've finally decided to run the code and see how to works. Time to debug. Strange, after rebuilding and reinstalling, things have fixed itself. Maybe a transient error with broken files.

I noticed that mkdir /tmp/d/; rsync -avr $(readlink -f .) /tmp/d/ will copy from . to /tmp/d/lsync-1.0/. I was assuming that it is copied to /tmp/d/. Oh no.

rsync -avr lsyncd-1.0/ /tmp/lsyncd-1.0/ and rsync -avr lsyncd-1.0 /tmp/lsyncd-1.0/ have different outputs. I want the final slash.

23:42:16 # Life Maintaining binfmtc. I've revisited the binfmtc package. g77 is gone, gfortran is now the way to go, kernel module building has somewhat changed a little. The rest seems to be working fine. How to build and run source-code hasn't changed that much in the last year which is not a bad thing.
