Edwin Groothuis 356b573191 Update port: sysutils/rdiff-backup-devel to 1.1.5
Update sysutils/rdiff-backup-devel from 1.1.4 to 1.1.5:

	* escape from rdiff-backup's mastering - being a slave to rdiff-backup
	  becomes too hard to maintain with respect to changes in 1.1.5

	* Makefile: mandatory variables imported from ../rdiff-backup/Makefile
	* Makefile: add new entry to MAN1
	* Makefile: slightly alter post-install target to make it install all
	  man pages listed in MAN1
	* add files/patch-setup.py which is now different from the one located
	  in ../rdiff-backup/files/
	* add own pkg-descr
	* sync pkg-plist

rdiff-backup backs up one directory to another, possibly over a network. The
target directory ends up a copy of the source directory, but extra reverse
diffs are stored in a special subdirectory of that target directory, so you
can still recover files lost some time ago. The idea is to combine the best
features of a mirror and an incremental backup. rdiff-backup also preserves
subdirectories, hard links, dev files, permissions, uid/gid ownership (if it
is running as root), and modification times. Finally, rdiff-backup can operate
in a bandwidth efficient manner over a pipe, like rsync. Thus you can use
rdiff-backup and ssh to securely back a hard drive up to a remote location,
and only the differences will be transmitted.
This is the development version of rdiff-backup.
