Look at http://www.coda.cs.cmu.edu/ To my eyes, it's pretty messy. You have to resolve file conflicts by hand (with command-line tools if I've understood it correctly) in some cases etc. You could try Intermezzo (which is part of the linux kernel as experimental code in recent versions): http://www.inter-mezzo.org/ Intermezzo has a conflict api that allows you to write, say, a gui for choosing what to do when files conflict, or even automate the conflict resolution (for example, by always using the file with the most recent date stamp). AFAIK, the tools haven't been packaged for Debian yet, and there's a call for packagers on the Intermezzo website. If one only had the time... :) fabbe -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
