# ------------------------------------------------ # CITATION.cff file created with {cffr} R package # See also: https://docs.ropensci.org/cffr/ # ------------------------------------------------ cff-version: 1.2.0 message: 'To cite package "getaca" in publications use:' type: software license: MIT title: 'getaca: Reproducible External Data Dependencies' version: 0.1.6 identifiers: - type: doi value: 10.32614/CRAN.package.getaca abstract: Declares, retrieves, verifies, tracks and actively manages external data dependencies too large or too fast-moving to ship inside a package. Resources are identified by package, name and version, pinned to a Secure Hash Algorithm (SHA-256) checksum, and resolved through an explicit policy so that the same installed package always resolves the same bytes. A registry served from a remote host may be signed with Ed25519 and verified against a key the declaring package ships, so the declaration and the key that vouches for it arrive by different routes. Hashing follows National Institute of Standards and Technology (2015) "Secure Hash Standard" ; signing follows Bernstein, Duif, Lange, Schwabe and Yang (2012) "High-Speed High-Security Signatures" and Josefsson and Liusvaara (2017) "Edwards-Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (EdDSA)" . Designed for reproducible offline use and graceful behaviour during package checks. authors: - family-names: Colling given-names: Gilles email: gilles.colling051@gmail.com orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3070-6066 preferred-citation: type: manual title: 'getaca: Reproducible External Data Dependencies' authors: - family-names: Colling given-names: Gilles email: gilles.colling051@gmail.com orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3070-6066 year: '2026' url: https://github.com/gcol33/getaca repository: https://gcol33.r-universe.dev repository-code: https://github.com/gcol33/getaca commit: 7c970e80cb52b9c2d0ce2fc77f27aabeb25f8c77 url: https://gillescolling.com/getaca/ date-released: '2026-10-10' contact: - family-names: Colling given-names: Gilles email: gilles.colling051@gmail.com orcid: https://orcid.org/0000-0003-3070-6066
