Sign a registry file

Source: R/signature.R
registry_sign.Rd

Signs the declaration in a written registry, producing a detached signature beside it. Sign after registry_write(): writing is what stamps created, and the signature binds that stamp.

Usage

registry_sign(path, key, expires = Sys.time() + SIGNATURE_DAYS * 86400)

Arguments

path

Path to a registry file written by registry_write().

key

Path to a secret key from registry_keygen().

expires

When the signature stops being accepted. Re-sign an unchanged registry to extend it. NA signs without an expiry, which leaves nothing bounding how long a stale declaration is served.

Value

The signature path, invisibly.

Details

Publish the .sig alongside the registry it describes. getaca fetches it from the registry's own URL with .sig appended.
