Re: [Question #164516]: concurrency problems

 

Question #164516 on Syncany changed:
https://answers.launchpad.net/syncany/+question/164516

    Status: Answered => Open

Ernesto is still having a problem:
Ok, but I don't understand because I can't download from server, my syncany
version is the "lp:syncany", maybe this version isn't the last.
I have saw the newsync version but I haven't found the build file and don't
know compile the Syncany.

Sorry if these questions are absurd.

> Different instances of Syncany (assuming different computer names!!) never

> The only file that is written by multiple clients is the repository-* file.
