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 sig‐
       natures 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  cre‐
       ate  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 con‐
       figuration 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  man‐
       ual matches what's available.
