Rsync is fast because it just sends the differences -in the files over the network instead of sending the complete -files. Rsync is often used as a very powerful mirroring process or -just as a more capable replacement for the rcp command.

It can +copy locally, to/from another host over any remote shell, or to/from a +remote rsync daemon. It offers a large number of options that control +every aspect of its behavior and permit very flexible specification of the +set of files to be copied. It is famous for its delta-transfer algorithm, +which reduces the amount of data sent over the network by sending only the +differences between the source files and the existing files in the +destination. Rsync is widely used for backups and mirroring and as an +improved copy command for everyday use. %prep %setup -q @@ -43,46 +45,5 @@ rm -rf $RPM_BUILD_ROOT %{_mandir}/man5/rsyncd.conf.5* %changelog -* Thu Jan 30 2003 Horst von Brand - Fixed "Sept" date in %changelog here - Use %{_mandir} to point to manpages - Support for compressed manpages (* at end catches them in %files) - Add doc/README-SGML and doc/rsync.sgml to %doc - -* Mon Sep 11 2000 John H Terpstra - Changed target paths to be Linux Standards Base compliant - -* Mon Jan 25 1999 Stefan Hornburg - quoted RPM_OPT_FLAGS for the sake of robustness - -* Mon May 18 1998 Andrew Tridgell - reworked for auto-building when I release rsync (tridge@samba.anu.edu.au) - -* Sat May 16 1998 John H Terpstra - Upgraded to Rsync 2.0.6 - -new feature anonymous rsync - -* Mon Apr 6 1998 Douglas N.
