credentials - Tools for Managing SSH and Git Credentials

Setup and retrieve HTTPS and SSH credentials for use with 'git' and other services. For HTTPS remotes the package interfaces the 'git-credential' utility which 'git' uses to store HTTP usernames and passwords. For SSH remotes we provide convenient functions to find or generate appropriate SSH keys. The package both helps the user to setup a local git installation, and also provides a back-end for git/ssh client libraries to authenticate with existing user credentials.

nanonext - NNG (Nanomsg Next Gen) Lightweight Messaging Library

R binding for NNG (Nanomsg Next Gen), a successor to ZeroMQ. NNG is a socket library for reliable, high-performance messaging over in-process, IPC, TCP, WebSocket and secure TLS transports. Implements 'Scalability Protocols', a standard for common communications patterns including publish/subscribe, request/reply and service discovery. As its own threaded concurrency framework, provides a toolkit for asynchronous programming and distributed computing. Intuitive 'aio' objects resolve automatically when asynchronous operations complete, and synchronisation primitives allow R to wait upon events signalled by concurrent threads.
