Why can't I sign an RPM package with my GPG key?

[KevinDrums]

I build my package: 'rpmbuild -ba SPECS/rmmr.spec' and this results in a source and noarch package.
I can check the
'rpm --checksig RPMS/noarch/rmmr-1.8-1_3kc.noarch.rpm SRPMS/rmmr-1.8-1_3kc.src.rpm'
RPMS/noarch/rmmr-1.8-1_3kc.noarch.rpm: sha1 md5 OK
SRPMS/rmmr-1.8-1_3kc.src.rpm: sha1 md5 OK

I want to add my GPG signature to the packages and try this:
rpm -v --addsign SRPMS/rmmr-1.8-1_3kc.src.rpm
rpm: SRPMS/rmmr-1.8-1_3kc.src.rpm: No such file or directory

But, 'ls -l SRPMS/rmmr-1.8-1_3kc.src.rpm' reports
-rw-r-----. 1 kevinc kevinc 7547 Apr 15 11:24 SRPMS/rmmr-1.8-1_3kc.src.rpm

I've been signing packages just fine since the mid 1990s with RPM 4.0. Now on Fedora 16 I can't sign packages? I added '-v' to rpm to report what's going on. But, that didn't help. I'm guessing that there's some temporary directory somewhere that doesn't exist. But, I can't figure out what's going on.

Any ideas people?

Thanks....

Try installing rpm-sign then try again

su
yum install rpm-sign

That worked! I signed my packages. Then I tried to verify the signatures. Earlier I did:

gpg --export -a cb31ebcc > kevinc-cb31ebcc.key
sudo rpm --import kevinc-cb31ebcc.key

That used to be enough years ago. But, I would now get

rpm --checksig ../homebrew/fedora/16/noarch/*
../homebrew/fedora/16/noarch/rmmr-1.8-3kc_fc16.noarch.rpm: (SHA1) DSA sha1 md5 (GPG) NOT OK (MISSING KEYS: GPG#cb31ebcc) 
../homebrew/fedora/16/noarch/sharmail-1.6-3kc_0tek_fc16.noarch.rpm: (SHA1) DSA sha1 md5 (GPG) NOT OK (MISSING KEYS: GPG#cb31ebcc)

It appears that I now also need to copy the key

sudo cp kevinc-cb31ebcc.key /var/lib/rpm/pubkeys/

Now I get

rpm --checksig ../homebrew/fedora/16/noarch/*
../homebrew/fedora/16/noarch/rmmr-1.8-3kc_fc16.noarch.rpm: (sha1) dsa sha1 md5 gpg OK
../homebrew/fedora/16/noarch/sharmail-1.6-3kc_0tek_fc16.noarch.rpm: (sha1) dsa sha1 md5 gpg OK

Thanks!

It turns out that putting my keys into /var/lib/rpm/pubkeys to get 'rpm --checksig' working ends up breaking 'yum update'.

So, I tried 'sudo gpg --import kevinc-cb31ebcc.key' which works to get 'rpm --checksig' working. I'll have to wait for the next set of updates to see if these keys broke that.

A long time ago having root import my GPG keys didn't work very well. See here http://www.mombu.com/gnu_linux/red-h...-11049416.html
