freebsd-ports/net/librsync1/pkg-descr
Bryan Drewery fb8ab4ccad Add net/librsync1 which is based on the 1.0 release of librsync.
This is not API-compatible with the 0.9 release. None of the ports consumers
of this library currently build with it.

The librsync library implements network delta-compression of streams and
files. The algorithm is similar to that used in the rsync(1) and xdelta(2)
programs, but specialized for transfer of arbitrary-length octet streams.
Unlike most diff programs, librsync does not require access to both of the
files on the same machine, but rather only a short ``signature'' of the
old file and the complete contents of the new file.
