Hello everyone.

I've been lurking this community for years, never wrote before, I have a Kobo GLO, during the day I'm an embedded linux programmer and I use the same tool that I believe Kobo is using for their software : Yocto.

Yocto is great, you give it instruction and it compiles stuff for you.

Anyway, the processor I'm using daily is a freescale one, same architecture of my Kobo Glo (and I believe most of the kobo devices) and I have the entire linux build system in place.

I was looking for a way to keep my server and my kobo synced together but rsync is not present in the actual build of the system , so, I built it :

https://www.dropbox.com/s/aot7ku5mdi...rsync.zip?dl=0

works from any location, ideally can be used in the update zips as well.

happy hack!
