man debsigs () - process signatures in .deb packages
NAME
debsigs - process signatures in .deb packages
SYNOPSIS
debsigs --list|-l [-v] file [file...]
debsigs --sign=type [--default-key=keyID] [-v] file [file...]
debsigs --verify|--check|-c file [file...]
debsigs --delete=type file [file...]
DESCRIPTION
debsigs is used to manipulate the cryptographic signatures stored inside a .deb file. It is not used to verify those signatures; for that purpose, see debsig-verify(1).
OPTIONS
- --list or -l or -t
- Lists the signatures found in the specified file.
- --sign=type
- Creates a new signature of the type specified in the given file. The signature will be created using the default key for your GPG keyring.
- --default-key=keyID
- Uses a key other than the default for signing the package.
- --secret-keyring=file or -K file
- Uses a keyring other than the default for signing the package. This option is passed along to GPG verbatim; see the discussion in the gpg(1) manpage for information on how to specify the keyring file.
- -v
- Displays verbose output.
- --verify or --check or -c
- Invokes debsig-verify to check the validity of the signature on this package.
- --delete=type
- Deletes the signature of the specified type from the package.
FUTURE DIRECTIONS
It would be nice to have a command-line option to change the command used for signing, instead of hard-coding gpg.
