Rpm signing without tty input (and %_gpgbin)

[Jos Vos <jos xos nl>]

Hi,

Is there a way to sign rpm's without having the passphrase read
from a tty?  I'm using a workaround with an expect script since
a long time, which works, but now I have different needs (commands
in a loop etc.) so that this isn't suffient anymore for me.

Gpg itself has options like --passphrase-fd and --passphrase-file
and I tried to use this in an own script and define %_gpgbin
accordingly, but this doesn't seem to work: it looks like %_gpgbin
is not used at all, it even works when I define it as /bin/false!

Regards,
