crack idea:

  • login
  • run sync-my-profile. it asks you for a url/hostname to talk to. it asks for a username/password
  • it syncs down the dirs your want:
  • default will be: .gconf .mozilla .gaim .liferea .tomboy .ssh .gnome* .kde others? - excluding Caches, etc
  • it iterates through the gconf changes and does what amounts to a gconftool-2 set on them to update the running apps.
  • ditto for kde to tell it to figure out what config stuff has changed
  • it sets up a gnomevfs or sshfs-fuse connection to your 'remote dirs' so you can have persistent file access over ssh to non-config files.
  • You're presented with a box to let you know your system is synced and ready to be used.
  • profit!


Background

Notes: grsync - if we can script w/it then use it to sync stuff down until fancier interfaces can be written.
