Re: Packages getting created without signature



Storing your passphrase in a file or ENV variable is never "safe" as told in
documents and by mentors.

but what if you want to enter the passphrase number of times or you want a
cron job or a script to do use gpg?

than here's what i found:
gpg's default home dir is ~/.gunpg (you can change it using --homedir
option, using this option will,  upto some extent provides at-least some
security as no one knows where your default directory is)
create a file gpg.conf in that folder and edit it to contain text as
"passphrase <your-passphrase>"

thats all is required.


bye
