Simon,
It's great that something better has come along, but still...
http://packages.debian.org/search?keywords=ftpsync&searchon=all&suite=all§ion=all
"Sorry, your search gave no results"
:-(
I don't think it should come configured, but since this is basically
at the heart of debian's architecture, doesn't it make sense that it
actually be a debian package with the appropriate dependancies, etc?
Thanks,
Tyler
