[Zope] ZSyncer and subfolders

[joe]

Hello,

I'm trying to use ZSyncer to sync a folder on one zope to a destination 
subdirectory on another zope. (IOW, not necessarily with the same parent 
folder struture).

In other words, I want to sync /foo/bar on one zope to 
/development/foo/bar on the other zope - and no matter what 
(sub)directories I place the zsyncer objects in on the two zopes, I 
always get an exact copy of the source's folder structure - I always get 
/foo/bar on the destination.

I have even tried using vhosts & vhm to sync to a 'virtual' root of 
/development, and yet it still doesn't work - even with the ZSyncer 
object in '/development' on the destination, and syncing to 
development.myhost.com/ (which points to 'myhost.com/development' in the 
destination zope), I *still* get the objects dumped in the physical Zope 
root.

I certainly assumed that, intuitively, the relative positions of the 
souce & dest ZSyncer objects WRT their respective zope roots would have 
determined the relative positions of the subsequent syncing activity - 
apparently not so; they start from the Zope physical root, regardless of 
even vhost settings.

This certainly makes it impossible to sync partial directory trees, or 
sync multiple sites (such development, staging) to one zope site (such 
as production).

I have searched extensively in all the archives, and cannot find this 
issue mentioned - although it would seem to me to be a very obvious 
eaarly stumbling block to adoption of ZSyncer, so perhaps I am doing 
something fundamentally wrong, and there is an easy solution out there 
to this that someone can point out to me.

Thanks,

Joe
