From 0264b06472a342c0d719f35422adeaaf4e54f1e4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Ian Leonard Date: Wed, 3 Sep 2014 17:33:03 -0700 Subject: rsync: enable selecting bundled or system zlib rsync, by default, includes a patched zlib within its source tarball. The patch enables a better compression ratio for rsync streams. However, the client and server need the same featureset in their zlib in order to understand the compression stream, or the server will abort the transfer. Older versions have no understanding of the new compression standard used. This patch allows the builder to choose whether to use the bundled or system zlib. It defautls to using the system zlib, as is the default before this patch.
