Create a GnuPG key with any format gpg will support, DSA and ElGammal is the default and is compatible with pgp5 so it's probably a good idea. Install gpg-rsaref. Add load-extension rsaref, secret-keyring ~/.pgp/secring.pgp, and keyring ~/.pgp/pubring.pgp to your ~/.gnupg/options file. You can now specify on the cmdline which key to use. If ~/.pgp disappears dpkg-buildpackage will use gpg automatically. If not, you will need to specify -sgpg and (as of the last version I looked at because of when the default is set) -pgpg. Because you've got two keys with the same email address, you should use -k0x<keyid> with dpkg-buildpackage too. DSA/ElGammal keys have two keyids, though I only list the encrypt keyid in my .sig below (this probably should be changed actually) so to answer which you use with dpkg-buildpackage you use the DSA keyid. For encrypting you woud specify the ElGammal keyid. I have no idea how to make BOTH default depending on whether signing or encrypting is happening. If you figure it out before I do, PLEASE TELL ME! => -- Joseph Carter <knghtbrd@debian.org> Debian GNU/Linux developer GnuPG: 2048g/3F9C2A43 - 20F6 2261 F185 7A3E 79FC 44F9 8FF7 D7A3 DCF9 DAB3 PGP 2.6: 2048R/50BDA0ED - E8 D6 84 81 E3 A8 BB 77 8E E2 29 96 C9 44 5F BE -------------------------------------------------------------------------- <Oryn> anyone know if there is a version of dpkg for redhat?
