This repository was meant as a placeholder to have a csync2 2.0 debian package. Ubuntu now includes a recent csync2 package.
There is an excellent mailinglist for questions about csync2. Please post questions or bug reports there: http://lists.linbit.com/mailman/listinfo/csync2

Csync2 is a cluster synchronization tool. It can be used to keep files on multiple hosts in a cluster in sync. Csync2 can handle complex setups with much more than just 2 hosts, handle file deletions and can detect conflicts.
It is expedient for HA-clusters, HPC-clusters, COWs and server farms. If you are looking for a tool to sync your laptop with your workstation, you better have a look at Unison (http://www.cis.upenn.edu/~bcpierce/unison/) too.
See http://oss.linbit.com/ for more information on csync2. The csync2 git tree can be found at http://git.linbit.com/csync2.git/.

You should definitely read the documentation before trying to setup csync2.
