[OS X TeX] Keeping TeX installations synchronized between machines

[Claus Gerhardt]

There is a GUI for rsync with some predefined scripts. A detailed description of the possible options is contained in the man pages.

The predefined scripts can be easily customized or copied and modified.

I am using rsync for keeping my MacBook Pro in sync with my Mac Pro.
