This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in the current release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. Because the affected component is not scheduled to be updated in the current release, Red Hat is unable to address this request at this time. Red Hat invites you to ask your support representative to propose this request, if appropriate, in the next release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. After reading: http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gzip/2010-06/msg00002.html and http://beeznest.wordpress.com/2005/02/03/rsyncable-gzip/ this could be the solution: --rsyncable Having a compressed file and synchronized between two computers using rsync, this option allows after changing a file not to sent an entire new archive but just a small portion of it. Normally, after a change in any file of an archive, compressing algorithm can generate completelly diffrent archive that differ from the old one. This causes rsync to transmit entirely new version to the remote computer. With this option, rsync is able to transmit just the changed portions (plus some minimal padding in the area of the archive that necessarily changed as a result of the changes in the file). After grammar correction of course :) What do you think, Petr, Eduardo? Is it sufficient explanation? It's pretty explanatory for me. Thanks! Yes, this could be the solution.

--rsyncable missing in gzip.1 man page
From upstream, --rsyncable is only RH/Fedora feature.
Thank you Jan. I will apply your patch Created attachment 902891 [details]
