- Description:
- rsync is a replacement for rcp that has many more features.
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.
This makes rsync a good remote file distribution/synchronization utility
in a dialup PPP/SLIP environment.
Note, requires rsync on the destination machine.
There is a Computer Science Technical Report on the rsync algorithm is
included in the distribution, and is available as
ftp://samba.anu.edu.au/pub/rsync/tech_report.ps

| Notes from UPDATING |
- These upgrade notes are taken from /usr/ports/UPDATING
- 2026-05-15
Affects: Users of net/rsync Author: rodrigo@FreeBSD.org Reason:
Since rsync 3.4.2, the rsync project removed support for the unmaintained
rsync-patches archive. As a consequence options such as File system flags
(--fileflags) are not available anymore in default build.

Upgrade to 2.5.0. The main change is the integration of the KAME IPv6 patch.
Also one minor nit was fixed about the rsyncd PID file. |

Upgrade the bundled zlib from 1.1.2 to 1.1.3. This should fix the hanging
bugs we are seeing quite often at ftp-master. We cannot just use the system
libz (which is at 1.1.3) because rsync has hacked it's copy. This upgrade
contains those hacks. |

Numerically note the rsync w/ssh as rsh problem was fixed. |

rsync sometimes freezes during execution if it is run over ssh. rsync turns on
blocking I/O mode if remote shell command is rsh (ie. matched RSYNC_RSH) to
work around some broken rsh implementations on other platforms. |
