Hi,
I need a little help on the RPM signing strategy. I was trying to
automate the entire rpm signing process and i would like to know
whether it is possible to sign without giving the passphrase (This
is ok,since these rpms are used for some internal purpose only). Or
is it possible to give the passphrase together with the signing
command ( e.g rpm --resign <give passphrase here>) rather than
getting it as a user input.
Use expect if you want to automate.
rpm uses getpass(3), which will reopen /dev/tty with noecho to read
the password.
So you need to run rpm with a pseudo-tty controlling terminal to
write the password.
expect is the cheapest way to accomplish the plumbing.
