What you've done is good.

I try to keep any processing on sourceforge if I can. I cannot make the
RPM creation local because I cannot install prereqs on the compile farm.

What I have not been able to figure out is how I can gat the RPMs from
my server to sourceforge without using a passphrase-less ssh key.

I'll revisit that, I may well be ovrlooking something obvious, and I
don't even remeber what my assuptions were when I gave up last time
around.
