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 AT 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 AT 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.
