NAME

       rpmsign - RPM Package Signing

SYNOPSIS

       rpm --addsign|--resign PACKAGE_FILE ...

       rpm --delsign PACKAGE_FILE ...

DESCRIPTION

       Both  of  the --addsign and --resign options generate and insert new signatures for each package PACKAGE_FILE given, replacing any existing
       signatures. There are two options for historical reasons, there is no difference in behavior currently.

       rpm --delsign PACKAGE_FILE ...

       Delete all signatures from each package PACKAGE_FILE given.

   USING GPG TO SIGN PACKAGES
       In order to sign packages using GPG, rpm must be configured to run GPG and be able to find  a  key  ring  with  the  appropriate  keys.	By
       default,  rpm  uses  the  same conventions as GPG to find key rings, namely the $GNUPGHOME environment variable.  If your key rings are not
       located where GPG expects them to be, you will need to configure the macro %_gpg_path to be the location of the GPG key rings to  use.	If
       you want to be able to sign packages you create yourself, you also need to create your own public and secret key pair (see the GPG manual).
       You will also need to configure the rpm macros

       %_gpg_name
	      The name of the "user" whose key you wish to use to sign your packages.

       For example, to be able to use GPG to sign packages as the user "John Doe <jdoe@foo.com>" from the key rings located in /etc/rpm/.gpg using
       the executable /usr/bin/gpg you would include

       %_gpg_path /etc/rpm/.gpg
       %_gpg_name John Doe <jdoe@foo.com>
       %__gpg /usr/bin/gpg

       in a macro configuration file. Use /etc/rpm/macros for per-system configuration and ~/.rpmmacros for per-user configuration. Typically it's
       sufficient to set just %_gpg_name.

       rpmsign --help - as rpm supports customizing the options via popt aliases it's impossible to guarantee that what's described in the  manual
       matches what's available.
