Subject: tasty updates for comparator
X-Git-Url: https://feistymeow.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=bde11e4a8e7d54deb3038af3a94ab3d6596f5eb2;p=feisty_meow.git

tasty updates for comparator

now very much a reusable tool for others, since the hard-coded names for the comparator have
been cleaned up.  now these scripts just use the MAJOR_ARCHIVE_SOURCES and the command line
parameters to ferret out the proper locations to synch.
successfully used against both localhost, a remote host, and a local disk archive now.
