I use rsync in a few of my scripts. I have openrsync installed on my system so I might as well start reading the docs to see how to adapt my current rsync commands.

It would be cool if more distros had an openrsync package in their repos -- namely, Debian, Ubuntu, and RHEL / Fedora. Maybe I can make one in Copr for Fedora-based distros if one doesn't already exist.

It's currently available in the *BSD package repos. I think I heard it's available in Alpine package repos. It's available in the AUR. It's also pretty trivial to compile and install from source on any system with GNU Make and clang/gcc:

git clone https://github.com/kristapsdz/openrsync
cd openrsync
./configure
make
sudo make install
