# HOW TO EDIT THIS FILE:
# The "handy ruler" below makes it easier to edit a package description. Line
# up the first '|' above the ':' following the base package name, and the '|'
# on the right side marks the last column you can put a character in. You must
# make exactly 11 lines for the formatting to be correct. It's also
# customary to leave one space after the ':'.

rsync: rsync (remote file sync)
rsync:
rsync: rsync is a replacement for rcp that has many more features. It
rsync: uses the "rsync algorithm" which provides a very fast method for
rsync: bringing remote files into sync. It does this by sending just the
rsync: differences in the files across the link, without requiring that both
rsync: sets of files are present at one of the ends of the link beforehand.
rsync: rsync was written by Andrew Tridgell and Paul Mackerras.
