desync 1.0.0-1

Package Information

DescriptionAlternative casync implementation (program)

desync is a CLI tool that re-implements casync (https://github.com/systemd/casync) features for content-addressed binary distribution. It chunks large files using a rolling hash, deduplicates and compresses chunks with zstd (https://github.com/facebook/zstd), and distributes them via multiple store backends. It maintains compatibility with casync's data structures, protocols and types (chunk stores, index files, archives) to function as a drop-in replacement.

FUSE support for the mount-index command is available when the fuse3 package is installed.
