Upstream: http://git.linbit.com/csync2.git/
Has sqlite3 support, as well as support for psql, and mysql backends,
and a few other features.

It is in RC status since Last November, but due to lack of time,
we have not yet done a serious "regression test".

Even so, we successfully use it on a number of systems, and there have
not been any complaints on the csync2 list yet, either.

I suggest you go with current git.

I'm currently not aware of any issues, even though I suspect that there
will be some obscure (thus I still kept the "candidate") -- if you would
be more happy with an "official" 2.0, I can find some time this week
and tag it as such, as it is.

If you get any bug reports or other feedback,
contact me, and if the bug report is well written,
we should be able to deal with it promptly.
