Rsync: pure Ruby implementation?

Question

I have a Rsync program Deltacopy with an executable as client and server but would like to replace this if possible with a pure Ruby implementation of Rsync. I found gems like six-rsync and rsync-update but they seem to be no general implementations. I'm looking for a pure Ruby solution, so no executables involved and preferably runnable on multiple OS. If possible a simple sample would be great.

I only look for Rsync, no other transfer or backup solutions please.

Best of luck, sir.
