Script to sign files remotely using GnuPG, the main goal of this script is to sign Release files, this file is part of the structure of Debian Repositories and should be signed to avoid warnings about packages authentication. Example of use:

 $ sign-remote p.deb.org:~/debian/Release

The common way of use is together with dput as a hook, take a look in an example of dput's configuration:

 [p.deb.org]
 fqdn = p.deb.org
 method = scp
 login = *
 incoming = /home/debian/mini-dinstall/incoming
 post_upload_command = ssh p.deb.org "mini-dinstall -b" && sign-remote p.deb.org:~/debian/Release

In the example above dput will run sign-remote to sign the Release file every time that a package is uploaded to the Debian Repository.
