Project is dead, please put that info on main page

There is a working, alternate implementation on casync which is well maintained and is faster in terms of creating chunks and downloading due to parallelization. https://github.com/folbricht/desync

I hope the project's home page can mention that

I'm facing issue on an embedded system #260.
If the project is dead it would be great to mention it so we switch to another tool or if someone has the time he could maintain it.

Especially for embedded and when only images need to be synchronized, there is also

https://github.com/florolf/casync-nano

which can also serve as a drop-in replacement for some cases.

thanks

casync-nano is aleady in my list of tools to evaluate.

It's not dead, a bit slow moving for now, but we will probably get to this again after some more work in other areas is complete. Some PRs that were pending were merged recently, if you have any other bug fixes or features you'd like to contribute please open a PR.

Thanks for the reply !
Good to know it's still alive :)

Okay, it seems that this issue serves as list of casync alternatives. So here is my own simplistic parallel casync alternative, written in Rust, which uses fixed sized chunking (which is great for VM images): borgbackup/borg#7674 (comment) . You can also see there benchmark, which compares my tool to casync, desync and other alternatives. And my tool is way faster than all them. (But I cheat by using fixed sized chunking). See whole issue for context and especially this comment borgbackup/borg#7674 (comment) for comparison between casync, desync and other CDC-based tools

Okay, so here is list of Github issues I spammed wrote in last few days on this topic (i. e. fast fixed-sized and CDC-based deduplication). I hope they provide great insight to everyone interested in fast deduplicated storage.
