I'm looking for some open source filesync software, that
1) has the ability to run over HTTP
2) only sends across the deltas.

This is to keep a source code repository backed up remotely. Anyone used / know of such a project?

Thanks

 

Depends exactly what you're after. I use Bazaar for source code version control, but if you want to back up your repositories then I'd use something like rsync to keep a mirror. rsync has about 4000 options so have a read of the docs. There is a Win32 version of rsync if you'll be running Windows.

 

Rsync doesn't seem to be able to run over HTTP as far as I can tell... port 80 yes, HTTP no. It needs to go through a proxy server in this case...

 

There are some solutions to using rsync over the HTTP protocol, but it's the wrong tool for the job as I'm sure you're aware. Have a look at zsync and see if that does what you want, but the HTTP protocol introduces a lot of overhead for that kind of thing.

 

Repliweb does exactly this .... but that's not open source

 

I've decided to write something myself!
