This is Debian's prepackaged version of Andrew Tridgell and
Paul Mackerras' rsync utility.

This package provides the rsync program, which is a replacement
for rcp that uses the rsync algorythm to transfer only the
differences between two sets of files.

This package was put together by Philip Hands <phil@hands.com>,
from sources obtained from:
  http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/rsync-2.5.4.tar.gz

The changes were very minimal - merely adding support for the Debian
package maintenance scheme, by adding various debian/* files, and
tweaking the Makefile.in to allow the install prefix to be changed.
