Sync And Collaboration Tool `SparkleShare` 1.2 Released [Ubuntu PPA]

<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><a href="http://sparkleshare.org/">SparkleShare</a> is an open source cloud collaboration/synchronization tool that uses Git under the hood and can be used with your own Git repository or with services such as BitBucket, GitHub, Gitorious and Plan.io.</b></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihwBTDJ0QTi_gCBIE_WWCm1WHrW_8K6XD4A1s896Fj7mroIqBZmw3U3C0Lqn_WpmWNgkvgMsKeFXgbsMxztPsCfC-EbIkAfsuvEXoC5mzlKPQH_0Bq-_mZ4DUcN-Zb1VPqhek-Xfb8MBA/s1600/sparkleshare.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="sparkleshare" border="0" height="159" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEihwBTDJ0QTi_gCBIE_WWCm1WHrW_8K6XD4A1s896Fj7mroIqBZmw3U3C0Lqn_WpmWNgkvgMsKeFXgbsMxztPsCfC-EbIkAfsuvEXoC5mzlKPQH_0Bq-_mZ4DUcN-Zb1VPqhek-Xfb8MBA/s320/sparkleshare.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><a name='more'></a><div style="text-align: justify;">The application features file synchronization, version control, client side encryption and more and is available for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X. According to its homepage, SparkleShare and is great for frequently changing project files like text, office documents and so on, but not for large music/photo collections, large binary files hat change often and so on (because it uses Git which doesn't handle binaries very well).</div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">A <b>new SparkleShare version</b> has been released recently: <b>1.2.0</b>, which includes mostly bug fixes, such as:</div><ul><li>Fixes to the invite feature, now works when SparkleShare isn't running yet;</li><li>Fix some interface logic in Add dialog;</li><li>Fix some inaccurate sync state messages in the status icon;</li><li>Fix conflict when running when TortoiseGit is installed;</li><li>Fix crash when user cancels initial project download;</li><li>Fix Continue button not enabling when entering encryption password;</li><li>Fix Planio plugin name showing up as Gitorious on Linux;</li><li>Show download speed on initial project add.</li></ul><br /><br /><h2>Install SparkleShare in Ubuntu</h2><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">SparkleShare is available in the official Ubuntu repositories, but it hasn't been updated in a while (for instance, the current version in Ubuntu Saucy is 0.9) so to install the latest version, you can use an unofficial PPA. You'll also have to add the Git-core PPA, on which the SparkleShare PPA depend on.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>To add the required PPAs and install the latest SparkleShare in Ubuntu 13.04, 12.10 or 12.04, use the following commands:</b></div><pre class="linux-code"><code>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa<br />sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rebuntu16/sparkleshare+unofficial<br />sudo apt-get update<br />sudo apt-get install sparkleshare</code></pre><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">After SparkleShare has been installed successfully, start it and from the tray/appindicator select <i>SparkleShare > Add hosted project</i> and then select if you want to use your own server or BitBucket, GitHub, Gitorious or Planio:</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyJzu36VdxI25ngp3yQM1qCPQRMUTM0rA70hQqFOZPdZfoaJZ_AsldllRzYkPzzJ7vN5r_w8yZJusWoXH8mrtgYXN7k-qwawxpWKgBSf8i2Rzr-rnGXkF4GSadGez21G1O2lt481aJlwA/s1600/sparkleshare_2.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="sparkleshare" border="0" height="208" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgyJzu36VdxI25ngp3yQM1qCPQRMUTM0rA70hQqFOZPdZfoaJZ_AsldllRzYkPzzJ7vN5r_w8yZJusWoXH8mrtgYXN7k-qwawxpWKgBSf8i2Rzr-rnGXkF4GSadGez21G1O2lt481aJlwA/s320/sparkleshare_2.png" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>For other Linux distributions, Windows or Mac OS X, download SparkleShare from its <a href="http://sparkleshare.org/">website</a>.</b></div>

Install SparkleShare 1.0 In Ubuntu (Dropbox-Like File Synchronization Tool)

<div style="text-align: justify;"><b><a href="http://sparkleshare.org/">SparkleShare</a> is an open source file synchronization and collaboration tool </b>somewhat similar to Dropbox, <b>available for Linux, Mac OSX and Windows.</b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">SparkleShare uses GIT version control system and can be used with code hosting services like GitHub, Bitbucket or Gitorious as well as your own server.</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://img.netupd8.com/sparkleshare-appindicator.png" rel="image_group" title="SparkleShare Ubuntu AppIndicator"><img alt="SparkleShare appindicator" src="http://img.netupd8.com/sparkleshare-appindicator_thumb.png" /></a></div><br /><a name='more'></a><b>SparkleShare features:</b><br /><ul><li>presets for projects hosted on GitHub, Bitbucket or Gitorious</li><li>a recent changes window shows who changed what</li><li>restore deleted files or revert to previous versions</li><li>conflict handling</li><li>notifications</li><li>client side encryption</li><li>optional Ubuntu AppIndicator</li></ul><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">In previous versions there used to be Nautilus integration but unfortunately this has been removed about 2 months ago, however, everything you need is integrated into the "Recent Changes dialog":</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://img.netupd8.com/sparkleshare-recent-changes.png" rel="image_group" title="SparkleShare Recent Changes dialog"><img alt="SparkleShare recent changes dialog" src="http://img.netupd8.com/sparkleshare-recent-changes_thumb.png" /></a></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">E.g.: to restore a previous file version, from the main "Recent Changes" dialog view, click on the timestamp next to a file:</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://img.netupd8.com/sparkleshare-restore-file_thumb.png" rel="image_group" title="SparkleShare - Recent Changes - restore previous file version"><img alt="SparkleShare restore file" src="http://img.netupd8.com/sparkleshare-restore-file_thumb.png" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><h2>Install SparkleShare 1.0 in Ubuntu</h2><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">The SparkleShare version available in the official repositories is a bit old - 0.9.0, but if you don't want to add a PPA, you can use that. Some of the changes included in SparkleShare since version 0.9.0 are: new status icons, project folders can be renamed, new GNOME 3 symbolic icon, restore previous revisions of files from the event log and other changes as well as many many bug fixes - changelog <a href="http://mac.softpedia.com/progChangelog/SparkleShare-Changelog-93731.html">here</a>.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">SparkleShare 1.0 will most probably be available in the official Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail repositories, but it can easily be installed on older Ubuntu versions by using an unofficial PPA.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>To install SparkleShare 1.0 in Ubuntu 12.10, 12.04 or 11.10, firstly add the  Git stable releases PPA (the Sparkleshare PPA below depends on this PPA):</b></div><pre class="linux-code"><code>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:git-core/ppa<br />sudo apt-get update</code></pre><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Then, add the unofficial SparkleShare PPA and install the latest SparkleShare 1.0 in Ubuntu 12.10, 12.04 or 11.10 using the following commands:</b></div><pre class="linux-code"><code>sudo add-apt-repository ppa:rebuntu16/sparkleshare+unofficial<br />sudo apt-get update<br />sudo apt-get install sparkleshare libwebkit1.1-cil libmono-posix4.0-cil libmono-system-core4.0-cil libnotify0.4-cil</code></pre>(some dependencies are missing, that's why there's more than one package in the install command above)<br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>Important: the Ubuntu appindicator icon won't show up unless you're using the "ubuntu-mono-dark" (the default Ubuntu icon theme) or "ubuntu-mono-light) icon theme! </b>This is a <a href="https://github.com/hbons/SparkleShare/issues/1033">known bug</a>.<b><br /></b></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Once installed, launch SparkleShare and follow the initial setup dialog steps. To add a project, select <i>SparkleShare > Add Hosted Project</i> from the appindicator menu.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Adding a project hosted on GitHub, etc. is very easy: SparkleShare will create a text file with a ssh key in the SparkleShare folder which you need to add to GitHub under https://github.com/settings/ssh . If you've already added your own ssh key to GitHub, SparkleShare can use that instead, without any extra setup so just enter the remote path and you're ready:</div><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://img.netupd8.com/sparkleshare-add-github.png" rel="image_group"><img add="add" alt="SparkleShare" project="project" src="http://img.netupd8.com/sparkleshare-add-github_thumb.png" /></a></div><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">If you want to set up your own host, there's a script you can use which configures everything for you - see the SparkleShare <a href="http://sparkleshare.org/">homepage</a> for more info on this.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><b>For other Linux distributions, Windows and Mac OSX, download SparkleShare from its <a href="http://sparkleshare.org/">homepage</a>.</b></div>
