RFS: rsyncrypto - rsync friendly encryption
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA1
This is a request for a sponsor for a package. The package is lintian
clean, and has gone through some testing already.
Name: rsyncrypto
License: GPL
Short description: encrypt files in a method friendly to rsync. i.e. -
local changes in plain text result in local changes in cypher text.
Long description (from the package's source):
Rsyncrypto allows you to encrypt a file or a directory structure, such that
they can later be synchronized to another machine using rsync. This means
that local changes to the plain text file result in local changes to the
cipher text file.
Install rsyncrypto if you need to synchronize (using rsync) changing
encrypted files over the network. Rsync is capable of detecting, and
transferring, only the changed area of a file, thus being network
efficient.
Without rsyncrypto, any change to the plain text file will make the entire
cipher text file, from the point of the change to its end, change.
This will
eliminate the network efficiency of rsync.
rsyncrypto compresses the plain text file prior to encrypting it. This
requires gzip with the "rsyncable" patch applied.
