Using gpg with rpm

[James H. Cloos Jr.]

Hash: SHA1

I'm working on a wrapper script that will allow rpm(1) to use gpg(1)
for signing and verifying rpm(5) packages.  (Yes, it would be better
were rpm(1) itself to support gpg(1), but this will do as an interim
solution.)

The argument translations are fairly obvious, as is the need for the
rsa extension to handle the keys.

What I've not determined, though, are: exactly what options are
required to sign a file such that pgp-2.6.2 can verify the signature,
and what options are required to generate a key-pair that pgp-2.6.2
can import.

Is the idea module required?  Which hash should be used?  Should I
instead ask on one of the pgp groups? :)

TIA
