wsync

A small Python utility/module for synchronizing a local folder with a remote web repository.

Install

Just do

pip install wsync

Usage

As a standalone script

Suppose that you need to mantain a local mirror of the remote repository at http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/source/iso-dvd/.

Then it is enough to do as follows:

wsync  \
    --digest-list http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/source/iso-dvd/SHA1SUMS  \
    --remote-repo http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/source/iso-dvd/          \
    --local-copy ~/debian-iso-dvd

Of course, any subsequent execution of the script will detect any change and download what is needed.

You can also use the testing branch of the GitHub repository for a quick test: just do:

wsync  \
    --digest-list https://raw.githubusercontent.com/reale/wsync/testing/SHA1SUMS  \
    --remote-repo https://raw.githubusercontent.com/reale/wsync/testing/

As a module

As before:

from wsync import *

digest_list_url = "http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/source/iso-dvd/SHA1SUMS"
remote_repo_url = "http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/source/iso-dvd/"
local_copy = "~/debian-iso-dvd"

wsync = Wsync(digest_list_url, remote_repo_url, local_copy)

wsync.sync()

Or:

digest_list_url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/reale/wsync/testing/SHA1SUMS"
remote_repo_url = "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/reale/wsync/testing/"
