It hasn't been a priority yet, but there is no reason in principle. It's written in Java, so is cross-platform. We will be making the source available soon, so people will be able to adapt it to different platforms and capabilities.

You can get it working on Linux in a not aprticularly pretty way….

Start with the .dmg file:
- Unzip it:
> 7z x AlfrescoSync-0.8.0.4.dmg

- mount the .hfs file :
> sudo mount -t hfsplus -o loop 2.hfs /mnt/dmg

- Copy the mounted files somewhere permanent:
> sudo cp -r /mnt/dmg extracted/

> sudo chown -R andy:andy extracted/*
> cd extracted/dmg/AlfrescoSync.app/Contents/Resources/Java/

- run it:
> java -jar alfresco-sync-0.8.0.4-jar-with-dependencies.jar

It pops up a couple of warnings, it may need the classpath configuring a little, but the basics of it work….

Also take in consideration use the option

-Djava.library.path="."‍

Point to the jnotify folder library (used to hook the files on any os) by default on the same path as the jar file.

Good point Juan - although if you're running it on Linux, the Jnotify library in the .dmg file won't work and you'll need to download from
http://sourceforge.net/projects/jnotify/files/
and change the -Djava.library.path appropriately.
I.e:
java -Djava.library.path=/Dump/apps/jNotify/jnotify-lib-0.94/64-bit\ Linux/ -jar alfresco-sync-0.8.0.4-jar-with-dependencies.jar

Ohh, that's true, the linux dependencies are not inside the mac package.

That's a different project, unfortunately with the same name.
The source for this new one should be released soon.

I think it's more a fork

It is an entirely different project. We have been working with the maintainers of that project (the very nice team at Worksy) and will be merging the efforts.
