13 rsync is a replacement for rcp that has many more features.
15 rsync uses the "rsync algorithm" which provides a very fast method for
16 bringing remote files into sync. It does this by sending just the
17 differences in the files across the link, without requiring that both
18 sets of files are present at one of the ends of the link beforehand.
20 A technical report describing the rsync algorithm is included with
24 * Mon Sept 11 2000 John H Terpstra <jht@turbolinux.com>
25 Changed target paths to be Linux Standards Base compliant
27 * Mon Jan 25 1999 Stefan Hornburg <racke@linuxia.de>
28 quoted RPM_OPT_FLAGS for the sake of robustness
29 * Mon May 18 1998 Andrew Tridgell <tridge@samba.anu.edu.au>
30 reworked for auto-building when I release rsync (tridge@samba.anu.edu.au)
32 * Sat May 16 1998 John H Terpstra <jht@aquasoft.com.au>
33 Upgraded to Rsync 2.0.6
34 -new feature anonymous rsync
36 * Mon Apr 6 1998 Douglas N. Arnold <dna@math.psu.edu>
38 Upgrade to rsync version 1.7.2.
40 * Sun Mar 1 1998 Douglas N. Arnold <dna@math.psu.edu>
42 Built 1.6.9-1 based on the 1.6.3-2 spec file of John A. Martin.
43 Changes from 1.6.3-2 packaging: added latex and dvips commands
44 to create tech_report.ps.
46 * Mon Aug 25 1997 John A. Martin <jam@jamux.com>
48 Built 1.6.3-2 after finding no rsync-1.6.3-1.src.rpm although there
49 was an ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/contrib/alpha/rsync-1.6.3-1.alpha.rpm
50 showing no packager nor signature but giving
51 "Source RPM: rsync-1.6.3-1.src.rpm".
53 Changes from 1.6.2-1 packaging: added '$RPM_OPT_FLAGS' to make, strip
54 to '%build', removed '%prefix'.

58 rsync-1.6.2-1 packaged. (This entry by jam to credit Michael for the
