Port notes

This version of rsync, while not the latest, includes additional macOS support. Most notably, HFS compression.

Warning: Since this is an older release, it does not include the latest upstream security patches. As such, only use the daemon in secured environments!

To use the rsyncd server you must copy ${prefix}/etc/rsyncd.conf.example to rsyncd.conf and add your modules there. See 'man rsyncd.conf' for more information. A startup item has been generated that will aid in starting rsync-hfscomp with launchd. It is disabled by default. Execute the following command to start it, and to cause it to launch at startup:

sudo port load rsync-hfscomp
