csync2 is missing from epel7 repo while it is present on el6 http://oss.linbit.com/csync2/ this tool is very usefull and common to make filesystem synchronization in cloud environment while on fedora it is present on the main repo, on centos 7 is missing it would be great if ported on epel7 it could be also ported without xinetd dependency (like on fedora23) and integrated with systemd it's work fine. A simple unit file: [Unit] Description=csync2 server daemon Documentation=man:csync2(8) After=network.target [Service] ExecStart=/usr/sbin/csync2 -ii ExecReload=/bin/kill -HUP $MAINPID KillMode=process [Install] WantedBy=multi-user.target
Any chance to get this for EPEL7?
Would be appreciated! Is there anything we can help with to get cync2 into EPEL7?

never got any reply on this request from Red Hat here. csync2 was never added to EPEL on RHEL7, neither RHEL7, neither RHEL9. People who need to rely on csync2 might want to use Debian, Ubuntu or SUSE, they all have csync2 in their main repositories.
