+# Class for generating signed RPM packages.
+#
+# Configuration variables used by this class:
+# RPM_GPG_PASSPHRASE_FILE
+#           Path to a file containing the passphrase of the signing key.
+# RPM_GPG_NAME
+#           Name of the key to sign with. Alternatively you can define
+#           %_gpg_name macro in your ~/.oerpmmacros file.
+# RPM_GPG_PUBKEY
+#           Path to a file containing the public key (in "armor" format)
+#           corresponding the signing key.
+# GPG_BIN
+#           Optional variable for specifying the gpg binary/wrapper to use for
+#           signing.
