As always, feel free to ask. // Sherlock Motivation I got some issues about compile seafile to android, so instead of doing so, I start to figure out some other synchronize workflow. Rsync is one of the most mature synchronization solution. So I made the decision on planting rsync to android. Pre-work Rsync is a sync program with delta sync feature and based on SSH connection. So all we need to do is SSH support and cross compile tool-chain.

Motivation This project is working for delta sync from mobile to server. Currently, there’s no mobile program/solution has supporting to delta sync(Include Dropbox/ Goggle Drive). But the truth is that almost every pc version sync program can work as delta sync properly or not. So in this article, I’ll provide a workbench for cross compilation and evaluation. And finally come up with a reason of how to port better incremental synchronize solution on mobile platform.
