Here's some instructions on an optional use of gnupg that uses a
directory under /var/cache/debpool for use with gnupg. This could be
added in README.GnuPG.
Optional setup of GnuPG under debpool directory.
1. Make sure that the gnupg package is installed.
2. Make a directory under debpool. (Let's assume you're naming the directory
"s3kr1t" like from the mini-dinstall package.)
sudo mkdir /var/cache/debpool/.s3kr1t
3. Ensure that the newly created directory is under mode 0700.
sudo chmod 0700 /var/cache/debpool/.s3kr1t
4. Export the GNUPGHOME variable used by gpg to point to the newly created
directory. This will make gpg use the directory specified for GNUPGHOME
instead of the default ~/.gnupg directory.
export GNUPGHOME=/var/cache/debpool/.s3kr1t
5. Generate an archive signing key by using 'sudo gpg --gen-key', record the
passphrase in some text file (for example, under $GNUPGHOME/passphrase), and
make sure it's in mode 0600.
6. Edit the appropriate Config.pm file (/etc/debpool/Config.pm or
~/.debpool/Config.pm), set $Options{'sign_release'} to 1 and
$Options{'gpg_sign_key'} to the key ID of your archive signing key.
Note that this won't have any effect unless you also enable Release
file generation (but it won't hurt anything, either). Also, make sure to set
$Options{'gpg_home'} to point to the newly created directory.
