rsync (3.1.3-8ubuntu0.6) focal; urgency=medium

  * d/p/add-trust-sender-option.patch: Add --trust-sender argument to decrease
    overhead when transferring files (LP: #2028810)
    In order to mitigate the performance decrease experienced by the security
    update blocking arbitrary file writes by remote servers, this update allows
    users the option to inherently trust the remote server instead. The
    --trust-sender argument tells the local server to trust the remote server's
    file list, leading to a speedup in transfer speed since the extra checks
    are no longer needed. The argument should only be used when transferring
    between two controlled servers though, to avoid arbitrary file access from
    a malicious server.
