+%description
+Rsync-bpc is a customized version of rsync that is used as part of
+BackupPC, an open source backup system.
+
+The main change to rsync is adding a shim layer (in the subdirectory
+backuppc, and in bpc_sysCalls.c) that emulates the system calls for
+accessing the file system so that rsync can directly read/write files
+in BackupPC's format.
+
+Rsync-bpc is fully line-compatible with vanilla rsync, so it can talk
+to rsync servers and clients.
+
+Rsync-bpc serves no purpose outside of BackupPC.
