| 1 | zlib has been adapted slightly for use in rsync. Please don't bother |
| 2 | the zlib authors with problems related to the use of zlib in rsync as |
| 3 | any bugs are likely to be our fault and not theirs. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | Specific changes that have been made to zlib for rsync include: |
| 6 | |
| 7 | - add Z_INSERT_ONLY to allow for efficient history updating without |
| 8 | actually emitting any data. This is used to compress the matched |
| 9 | blocks that don't cross the wire, which gives better compression |
| 10 | ratios on the literal data. |
| 11 | |
| 12 | - fixed a number of minor compilation issues. (redefinition of MAX and |
| 13 | other such trivial things) |
| 14 | |
| 15 | - include rsync.h to ensure that we get a consistent set of includes |
| 16 | for all C code in rsync and to take advantage of autoconf |
