Still, rpmbuild asks for the passphrase, I have to hit enter to continue.
1. keys without passphrases are stupid.
Such generic statements are extremely stupid! If you really needed to sign something _automatically_ and have a machine that is not accessible by other persons then it makes perfectly sense to use unencrypted keys.
2. do all the builds you want. and before you upload your rpms rpm --resign|--addsign *.rpm
and all your rpms will be signed with typing your passphrase _once_
hope this helps
This is a solution if typing the passphrase once is an option but not if manual interaction is not an option. So if you want to answer such questions in a serious way then first ask what other people really want to do and don't bash other solutions just because you _think_ that what someone else is doing is stupid without actually discussing it.
