Re: Packages getting created without signature
hi
but dpkg-buildpackage command asks for passphrase just before building the
package (at dh_builddeb ). so how can i check it with lintian etc.
Do you want that first i should build a package, check it and than use gpg
separately for signing the package?
bye
