We will provide İsmail as default key with the --default-key option. The default is to create a RSA public/private key pair and also a RSA signing key. GPG is installed by default in most distributions. Use gpg --full-gen-key command to generate your key pair. $ gpg --keyring /shared/rpm/.gpg --no-default-keyring --full-gen-key Even if only one person is using the key to sign packages, make a separate keypair to use for signing. This doesn't mean that a key is in a single computer. I set the default key to the newer one using the default-key option in ~/.gnupg/gpg.conf.. Open Passwords and Encryption Keys.
