Meta Configuration of Package rsync
<package name="rsync" project="oldschool"> <title>Replacement for rcp/mirror that has many more features</title> <description>rsync uses the "rsync algorithm" which provides a very fast method for bringing remote files into sync. It does this by sending just the differences in the files across the link, without requiring that both sets of files are present at one of the ends of the link beforehand. At first glance this may seem impossible because the calculation of diffs between two files normally requires local access to both files. A technical report describing the rsync algorithm is included with this package.</description> <person userid="netmax" role="maintainer"/> </package>
