Hi there!
When we built a package, we can sign it at build time by issuing
the command:
rpmbuild -ba --sign file.spec
and it will prompt for something like this:
Enter pass phrase: <passphrase> (Not echoed)
Now on my system I need to build rpm automatically ( without human
intervention)! Is it possible to have my paraphrase being read in a file
rather than me sitting in front of the computer and actually typing it?
I know it's not a very good idea but my rpms need to be generated
automatically daily via cron, and I can't sit behind my pc and type the
paraphrase each time one rpm is being built.
Can I avoid the prompting of the paraphrase if I want to sign my packages
at build-time and everything be done automatically? Thanks.
This is for the purpose of a repository and things like these need to be
automated when dealing with multiple packages.
With kind regards,
Didier.
