+%description
+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.
