Issue at short: I would like to find out if there is a way to provide the passphrase automatically to rpm so when signing multiple packages I wouldn't have to type the passphrase again and again. Issue at large: I have a script that builds some rpms and then group them in sfx sh installers (rpm.run). The tricky thing is that the script works like this: 10. build a few rpms 20. turn all of them into 1 rpm.run file 30. cleanup 40. goto 10 until all the rpm.run files are created I wouldn't have a problem to type the passphrase if it would sign all rpms in one session, but this is not possible because the script only builds a few rpms at the time. So if I would have the following line: 15. sign the built rpms I would still need to type the passphrase for every rpm.run file (about 20 times). It would be kind of hard to rewrite the script to build all the rpms first and then turn them progressively to rpm.run so the only acceptable way would be to somehow pass the passphrase to rpm. I know that rpm does not work with gpg-agent, so is there any other way to trick it to not request the passphrase anymore ? My planned alternatives would be: 1. ask you guys (duh!) 2. using 'expect' (I hope it works, I never used it before) 3. patch rpm to not request the passphrase anymore Mihai -- This message was scanned for spam and viruses by BitDefender.
