— dsync —

Implementation	23.10.2000
Dsync ought to be an rsync replacement designed especially for mirroring the Debian FTP and CD archives. Main coordinator is Jason Gunthorpe (jgg@debian.org). Much information is compacted into the per-file structure that may be used by the client in reconstructing the directory tree. In spirit it is like the common ls-lR files that mirrors have, but in practice it is radically different, most striking is that it is stored in a compacted binary format and may optionally contain MD5 hashes.
