Bug#354843: O: drsync -- wrapper for file synchronisation via rsync
Package: wnpp
Severity: normal
I'm orphaning drsync, I'm no longer using it. Popcon tells me about 34
users.. I suggest you either move to rdiff-backup or dublicity, or use
plain rsync instead (I recommend rdiff-backup, so you can stay with me :)
drsync has a problem: it is not UTF save, see #314166 for more
information. If you consider adopting it, this is a must-fix and will
take you some time to rewrite parts of drsync on your own. Upstream is
not interested in drsync since more than a year, a few month ago he
disapeared completely.
If noone takes it, I will request to remove drsync of debian in two
weeks from now.
Nevertheless, if you still want to be the new maintainer, please take it
-- see http://www.debian.org/devel/wnpp/index.html#howto-o for detailed
instructions how to adopt a package properly.

Description: wrapper for file synchronisation via rsync
drsync is a Perl wrapper for rsync which keeps track of the filelist
between synchronizations. It is ideal for notebook users who want to
keep data in two (or more) different places. It is also good for the
Linux PDAs (Agenda, iPAQ, Yopi, etc.), to keep data synchronized with
the desktop.
