Hi All,
I've tried to google and search this group but I could not find an
answer to my question.
I am using 3-4 computers at the same time (some of them laptop, some of
them Unix) and my computers are changing too fast. I am trying to
synchronize my latex related files (bib-files, acronyms, some style
files etc.), but it is difficult. I've tried to set a main machine and
copy from that one but even that is difficult as I forget to update the
main copy sometimes and I end up having 2-3 different versions.
I can put my files to my web page. Is it possible to read the files
from there and compile? For example, if I have a bib file at the URL:
http://www.mywebpage.com/mybibfile.bib, can I force latex to read the
bib file from there? Or do you have any other suggestion?
Thank you,
Toygar.
I use rsync to keep my files in sync across different computers. In our
lab in Linux machines and also at home, Debian Etch, I have rsync.
Suppose I am working on tex files in a directory called WorkDir. Assume
that Comp1 is the main computer and that I am working on a laptop
called Laptop. Then, to sync the laptop with the main computer (Comp1
-> Laptop), I use:
$> rsync -avze ssh username@Comp1:/path/to/WorkDir/
/laptop/path/to/WordDir
To sync 'up' to keep Comp1 upto date with the new files in Laptop
(Laptop -> Comp1), I do:
$> rsync -avze ssh /laptop/path/to/WordDir/
username@Comp1:/path/to/WorkDir
It is worthwhile to read up on rsync. It can be set up on a Windows
machine as well using Cygwin.
Other method is to use a repository of your work on one machine and a
version control system, e.g. cvs or subversion.
