Re: signing RPMs without a passphrase?

Well 2004 was a long time ago. Times have changed too ...

FWIW, rpm-5 uses keyutils to store passphrases.

Which means that its possible to us keyutils to manage
a persistent session pass phrase, loaded before rpm is invoked,
and the passphrase will be passed to gpg for signinging packages.

But you can attempt signing without a pass phrase if you want too.
