* Package name : r-cran-askpass Version : 1.1 Upstream Author : Jeroen Ooms * URL : https://cran.r-project.org/package=askpass * License : MIT Programming Lang: GNU R Description : safe password entry for GNU R, Git, and SSH Cross-platform utilities for prompting the user for credentials or a passphrase, for example to authenticate with a server or read a protected key. Includes native programs for MacOS and Windows, hence no 'tcltk' is required. Password entry can be invoked in two different ways: directly from R via the askpass() function, or indirectly as password-entry back-end for 'ssh-agent' or 'git-credential' via the SSH_ASKPASS and GIT_ASKPASS environment variables. Thereby the user can be prompted for credentials or a passphrase if needed when R calls out to git or ssh. Remark: This package is maintained by Debian R Packages Maintainers at https://salsa.debian.org/r-pkg-team/r-cran-askpass This package is needed to upgrade r-cran-openssl to its latest upstream version.
