When I used to maintain Node.js packages for Fedora, I always ran `rpmsign --addsign` after a plain rpmbuild without the --sign. Doing it this way only requires entry of the password once as long you pass a glob to rpmsign, and eliminates the need for a full rebuild if you typo the passphrase. -T.C. -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
