  Description     : user level bidirectional client for file synchronization
 csync is an implementation of a file synchronizer which provides the
 feature of roaming home directories for Linux clients.
 .
 This is the version of csync used by OwnCloud.

Owncloud-client (ITP #692872) does depend on this library.

The csync version from Andreas Schneider (http://www.csync.org/) has
some features missing for owncloud-client. That's Klaas Freitag forked
it and named it ocsync [1].

Ocsync uses libiniparser (ITP #582657). I read the bugreport and created a
patch to remove the dependency of libiniparser [2].

The packages has already an git repo:
git://git.debian.org/git/pkg-owncloud/ocsync.git
