Creating and signing packages

[Paolo Cavallini <cavallini@faunalia.it>]

Hi all.
I have a few stupid questions about creating and signing packages:

* compiling locally results in a series of changed files, whose changes I do not want
to commit back; e.g. [0]; what is the best approach to get rid of it?
Just running

git-buildpackage --git-ignore-new

or clean up local changes first, e.g. with

git clean -d -x -f

?

* I am compiling on a remote server, in a chrooted environment; I have my GPG key on
my desktop machine; which files should I place, and where, to have the package
signed? I originally created the chroot as root; should I change it as my normal
user, so my gpg key will be used automatically? in this case, how to do this?

Sorry about my ignorance.
All the best.
