[Bucardo-general] How to add sync of type 'swap'? -- deprecated?

[Troy Denton]

Thank you for the prompt reply David.

I'm having trouble understanding what the 'sync' actually means from the
output of 'bucardo add sync' - amongst the dbs listed, is it assumed the
first one is the 'source' and all others are targets?  I recall reading
that somewhere... perhaps this was also an outdated source.

In my instance, I want to sync in two directions (host A to B, B to A).
Does that mean I need to add two syncs?

Thank you for your patience with a Bucardo newbie -
