Hello,
Several years ago I abandoned replica and switched to my own tool
"upadate",
but I hesitated to make it public because replica is so fundamental
tools
for Plan 9.
The major problem is(was?) replica doesn't properly arrange update
data-base
before it begins to retrieve files. The laxness makes replica very slow.
If replica is to be improved I hope replica looks owner/group
information of files
in updating. If these information is different from official one, then
the file should be
regarded as having modified by users.

No, what we've told you, repeatedly, is that
whining about problems and fixing them are
two different things. Fixes are appreciated.
