Subpackage Descriptions
complete This is the librsync-standard metapackage. It pulls in all subpackages of librsync-standard.
primary librsync is a library for calculating and applying network deltas, with an interface designed to ease integration into diverse network applications. librsync encapsulates the core algorithms of the rsync protocol, which help with efficient calculation of the differences between two files. The rsync algorithm is different from most differencing algorithms because it does not require the presence of the two files to calculate the delta. Instead, it requires a set of checksums of each block of one file, which together form a signature for that file. Blocks at any in the other file which have the same checksum are likely to be identical, and whatever remains is the difference. This algorithm transfers the differences between two files without needing both files on the same system. librsync is for building other programs that transfer files as efficiently as rsync.
dev This is the developer subpackage of the librsync-standard port. It may contain headers, pc files, static and PIC libraries and SO links.
man This is the man page subpackage of the librsync-standard port.
