Maybe "yum install expect ; man expect" ?

I've done something similar. I've attached the expect script I use.

Hi there! When we built a package, we can sign it at build time by issuing the command:

rpm -ba --sign file.spec

and it will prompt for something like this:

Enter pass phrase: <passphrase> (Not echoed)

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.
