Package: wnpp Severity: wishlist X-Debbugs-Cc: par...@debian.org * Package name : rbw Version : 1.13.2 Upstream Contact: Jesse Luehrs <doy at tozt dot net> * URL : https://github.com/doy/rbw * License : MIT/X Programming Lang: Rust Description : unofficial command line client for Bitwarden
rbw is an unofficial command line client for Bitwarden. The official cli client is limited by being stateless - to use it, you're required to manually lock and unlock the client, and pass the temporary keys around in environment variables. This client avoids this problem by maintaining a background process which is able to hold the keys in memory, similar to the way that ssh-agent or gpg-agent work. This allows the client to be used in a much simpler way, with the background agent taking care of maintaining the necessary state. There is already an ITP for the official cli client (#1003143), but it appears to be stuck. Also: the official client is written in TypeScript, which makes packaging difficult. Cheers, Paride
