patches/packages/rsync-3.2.5-x86_64-1_slack15.0.txz:  Upgraded.
  Added some file-list safety checking that helps to ensure that a rogue
  sending rsync can't add unrequested top-level names and/or include recursive
  names that should have been excluded by the sender. These extra safety
  checks only require the receiver rsync to be updated. When dealing with an
  untrusted sending host, it is safest to copy into a dedicated destination
  directory for the remote content (i.e. don't copy into a destination
  directory that contains files that aren't from the remote host unless you
  trust the remote host).

# 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.
