net/rsync 3.5.1p0 OpenBSD

Rsync is a fast and extraordinarily versatile file copying tool. 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. This also includes options for lz4 and zstd compression as well as iconv for people wanting to bring files from other OSes with more versatile filenames.

Flavor: minimal without any extra dependencies of iconv, lz4, and zstd.

To use the rrsync wrapper, python3 should be installed.

# pkg_add python3
