+Unison is a file-synchronization tool for Unix and Windows. It allows two
+replicas of a collection of files and directories to be stored on different
+hosts (or different disks on the same host), modified separately, and then
+brought up to date by propagating the changes in each replica to the other.
+
+Unlike simple mirroring or backup utilities, Unison can deal with updates to
+both replicas of a distributed directory structure. Updates that do not
+conflict are propagated automatically. Conflicting updates are detected and
+displayed.
+
+You need ocaml and lablgtk to compile unison (all of them are provided by
+the slackbuilds project), however none of them are needed to run unison.
+
+Unison allows you to either build a text only binary or a binary that will
+use a graphical user interface:
+
+To build the gtk2 graphical inteface binary (the default option):
+
+ FLAVOR=gtk2 ./unison.SlackBuild
+ or
+ ./unison.SlackBuild
+
+To build a textonly binary:
+
+ FLAVOR=text ./unison.SlackBuild
