RPMSIGN(8)                           System Manager's Manual                           RPMSIGN(8)



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.
