.TH DEBRSIGN 1 "Debian Utilities" "DEBIAN" \" -*- nroff -*-
.SH NAME
debrsign \- remotely sign a Debian changes and dsc file pair using SSH
.SH SYNOPSIS
\fBdebrsign\fR [options] [\fIuser@\fR]\fIremotehost\fR [\fIchanges-file\fR]
.SH DESCRIPTION
\fBdebrsign\fR takes an unsigned \fI.changes\fR file and the
associated unsigned \fI.dsc\fR file (found by replacing the
architecture name and \fI.changes\fR by \fI.dsc\fR) if it appears in
the \fI.changes\fR file and signs them by copying them to the remote
machine using \fBssh\fR(1) and remotely running \fBdebsign\fR(1) on
that machine.
.PP
If a \fI.changes\fR file is specified, it is signed, otherwise,
\fIdebian/changelog\fR is parsed to determine the name of the
\fI.changes\fR file to look for in the parent directory.
.PP
This utility is useful if a developer must build a package on one
machine where it is unsafe to sign it; they need then only transfer
the small \fI.dsc\fR and \fI.changes\fR files to a safe machine and
then use the \fBdebsign\fR program to sign them before
transferring them back. This program automates this process.
.SH OPTIONS
.TP
.B \-p\fIprogname\fR
\fIprogname\fR is one of \fBpgp\fR or \fBgpg\fR, and specifies which
signing program is to be called.
.TP
.B \-m\fImaintainer\fR
Specify the maintainer name to be used for signing.
.TP
.B \-k\fIkeyid\fR
Specify the key ID to be used for signing; overrides any \fB\-m\fR
option.
.TP
\fB\-spgp\fR, \fB\-sgpg\fR
Whether the signing program is to be called with command line
arguments like those of \fBpgp\fR or \fBgpg\fR.
.TP
\fB\-a\fIdebian-architecture\fR, \fB\-t\fIGNU-system-type\fR
See \fBdpkg-architecture\fR(1) for a description of these options.
They affect the search for the \fI.changes\fR file.

.BR dpkg-architecture (1)
