When building Docker:

/devel/SIRF-Exercises/scripts/download_data.sh: line 195: rsync: command not found

I used rsync for the -u and -a flags, but on closer inspection, good old cp supports these

ok. what about checking if rsync is present, if so use it, otherwise use cp? More complicated, but rsync does feel nicer. It could prevent problems with files being open in one notebook, and people redownloading again by accident.

I think cp -ua X Y and rsync -ua X Y are almost functionally equivalent? Make a copy, but only if src is newer, and maintain all file metadata?

alright! I didn't know that.

Please check if MacOS cp supports it...

No, MacOS doesn't...
I'll make a function

It was getting bigger than Ben Hur, I think just using cp is acceptable. These scripts I suppose would be re-written in Python for #83 ?
