Bug#864079: ITP: backuppc-rsync -- rsync optimised for BackupPC backup utility



Package: wnpp
Severity: wishlist
Owner: Ludovic Drolez <ldrolez@debian.org>

* Package name    : backuppc-rsync
  Version         : 3.0.9.7
  Upstream Author : Craig Barratt <cbarratt@users.sourceforge.net>
* URL             : https://github.com/backuppc/rsync-bpc

  Description     : rsync optimised for BackupPC backup utility

Rsync-bpc is a customized version of rsync that is used as part of
BackupPC, an open source backup system.

The main change to rsync is adding a shim layer (in the subdirectory
backuppc, and in bpc_sysCalls.c) that emulates the system calls for
accessing the file system so that rsync can directly read/write files
in BackupPC's format.
