[Xml2hostconf-users] gpg signing the generated rpm packages

[Erik <eri...@ho...>]

On fedora core 2 you need to have something like

RPM
{ 
  GPG-Check "false"; 
};

in your /etc/apt/apt.conf because right now xml2hostconf in it current
form doesn't generate signed rpm packages.

The analogy for /etc/yum.conf is 

gpgcheck=0


Future plans for adding support for signed rpm packages to xml2hostconf
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

You could already now tweak the script

xml2hostconf/src/shellscripts/build_rpms.sh

to make xml2hostconf generate signed rpm packages, but the problem is
that you will have to type the pass phrase for each generated rpm ( a
bit tedious to do ).

The problem is that rpmbuild is the one asking for the pass phrase, not 
gpg. So using gpg-agent won't help you.
