Eww, we need to update the Xcode versions on that.
http://www.finkproject.org/index.php?phpLang=en
<http://www.finkproject.org/index.php?phpLang=en> has more current info in the
Status section (except for a typo in 10.12 support—the command-line tools for
Xcode 8.0 are required, not those for 6.0).
Like Robert W. indicated, the Xcode app doesn’t actually provide rsync, so if
you don’t have the command-line tools you’ll have to install those to do much
of anything.
