Format of passphrase entry in settings.xml?

Hi ctron,
can you please document the expected format of the passphrase entry in settings.xml. I can't get it right...

Haven't used it in a while, but IIRC it should work like this:

rpm-builder/src/it/test10-defaultname/pom.xml

Line 58 in 3095c0e

<passphrase>${passphrase}</passphrase>

Sorry, I meant how to define the passphrase in settings.xml.
I tried

	<server>
		<id>my.passphrase</id>
		<passphrase>secret</passphrase>
	</server>

(as documented for the rpm-maven-plugin) but that didn't work.

The maven-rpm-plugin is something different. So you need to define it in the pom.xml, and it does support variable substitution. Should also work with env-vars.

So

It is possible to use properties and provide this information either from the command line or the global Maven settings file .m2/settings.xml.

from Signing is not true anymore?
settings.xml can't be used?
OK, I'll send a PR changing the docs.
