The problem here is that upstream has no desire to keep a common
protocol, so you need the exact version on both ends. (If I recall
correctly). So, if you have say a debian box with version foo, you
need version foo on the fedora machine to talk to it. In the past
this has been done with multiple packages where 'yum install
unison' gets you the latest, and if you need an older version you
can manually pick and install that one.
So, not sure how better to solve this problem than with
compatibility packages.
Is it not at all possible to determine the protocol version of the
other end? It seems like this is a solvable problem.
