Bug#819341: Ping and updated patches
I'm interested in getting this integrated. The Python version of
fsmonitor does seem to be flaky, the OCaml version seems better. I
prefer it to be packaged in Debian.
I have updated John's patch above and based it on the current Git in
https://salsa.debian.org/ocaml-team/unison.git .
What else can I do to get there?

Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Add packages unison-fsmonitor and
unison-fsmonitor-python. (Closes: #819341)
This patch is taken from as-is from the bug #819341.

+Description: file-synchronization tool for Unix and Windows with GTK+ interface
+ Unison is a file-synchronization tool for Unix and Windows, written
+ in OCaml. It allows two replicas of a collection of files and
+ directories to be stored on different hosts (or different disks
+ on the same host), modified separately, and then brought up to
+ date by propagating the changes in each replica to the other.
+ .
+ Unison offers several advantages over various synchronization methods
+ such as CVS, Coda, rsync, Intellisync, etc. Unison can run on and
+ synchronize between Windows and many UNIX platforms. Unison requires
+ no root privileges, system access or kernel changes to function. Unison
+ can synchronize changes to files and directories in both directions,
+ on the same machine, or across a network using ssh or a direct
+ socket connection.
+ .
+ Transfers are optimised using a version of the rsync protocol,
+ making it ideal for slower links. Unison has a clear and precise
+ specification, and is resilient to failure due to its careful
+ handling of the replicas and its private structures.
+ .
+ This package adds the optional native fsmonitor helper program to
+ detect changes via "unison -repeat watch".

Subject: [PATCH 2/2] Fix doc list for unison-fsmonitor and
unison-fsmonitor-python.
The Python module unison-fsmonitor-python is marked "indep", so it
will not build the documentation files and they will be missing when
building. But than these packages should probably not contain another
copy of the docs anyway, so fix up DEB_INSTALL_DOCS accordingly.
