mirroring/synchronization over low bandwidth links

Description
Rsync is a fast and extraordinarily versatile file copying tool.
It can copy locally, to/from another host over any remote shell,
or to/from a remote rsync daemon. It offers a large number of options
that control every aspect of its behavior and permit very flexible
specification of the set of files to be copied. It is famous for
its delta-transfer algorithm, which reduces the amount of data sent
over the network by sending only the differences between the source
files and the existing files in the destination. Rsync is widely
used for backups and mirroring and as an improved copy command for
everyday use. This also includes options for lz4 and zstd compression
as well as iconv for people wanting to bring files from other OSes
with more versatile filenames.
Flavor: minimal
without any extra dependencies of iconv, lz4, and zstd.
To use the rrsync wrapper, python3 should be installed.
# pkg_add python3
