Comment (by ra1nb0w):

 "rsync" is not distributable because its license "gpl" conflicts with
 license "OpenSSL" of dependency "openssl"

 as many other ports. This fact is very annoying and I don't understand why
 since we are using linking (with openssl 3 this problem goes away).
 Openssl is needed for rsync-ssl and speed-up some checksum algorithms
 (reading news); maybe try to disable it?
