Hi,
--rsyncable option of gzip is nowhere documented. Looking at:
http://www.gnu.org/software/gzip/manual/gzip.html
http://www.gnu.org/software/gzip/manual/gzip.txt
or man gzip. Only for gzip -h:
--rsyncable Make rsync-friendly archive
Could someone give mi a hint where to find documentatio
GNU gzip doesn't have an --rsyncable option, so I'm afraid you'll need
to send this to the maintainer of the patched version you're using.
IIRC this is a patch added in RH/Fedora, not part of official gzip.
The best documentation is then probably the patch inside the RH
package.
