Hi again,

I think the "fakeinstall" and the Eclipse code formatter issues are the two

the more I learn about gradle, the more amazed I am about what it can do.
Simply adding "apply plugin: 'application'" to the top of the gradle file
(and a mainClassName) allows us to use "distTar" and "distZip" tasks which
create distributable TAR or ZIP archives, including a corresponding Windows
batch file and a Linux shell script. This is pretty awesome.

Combing that and the following tasks can re-create our fakeinstall task:

task fakeuninstall {
    new File("/usr/local/bin/syncany").delete()
    new File("/usr/local/bin/sy").delete()
}

task fakeinstall(dependsOn: fakeuninstall) {
    ant.symlink(resource: "${buildDir}/syncany", link:
"/usr/local/bin/syncany")
    ant.symlink(resource: "${buildDir}/syncany", link: "/usr/local/bin/sy")
}

Obviously the paths still need to be adjusted ... But that'll definitely
help Vincent, I think.

Best
Philipp
