[maemo-developers] Samba support dropped (was Re: N810 WE)

[From: Ben Martin]

I have unison compiled for chinook here:
http://kvo.cs.uow.edu.au/~martin/maemo/repository/binary/
But maybe its also in extras too by now?

You probably want to create a maemousers group on the machine with the
same UID as the users group on the maemo device.
# grep maemousers /etc/group
maemousers:x:29999:

and use this in your unison config:
numericids = true

Assuming that you already had a "users" group on the server/desktop
machine before getting a maemo device.

I have found unison can slow down when syncing a changed binary file
that is 300+Mb, mainly due to the CPU on the maemo end and working out
what differences need to be sent.
