solved - Re: poudriere using git+ssh and private key?

Thanks all for the suggestions. I figured it out.
I needed to find out as which user this part of the Jenkins job was running and set the private key up in the right spot. Sometimes it is so simple in hindsight.

This ssh-agent step in Jenkins will be a nice addition for the future me.

Thanks and regards,
Ronald.
