Hello:

I was reading a blog posted to Planet Fedora[0], and found the following 
paragraph:

"I did notice one quirk they kind of bugged me, while this is not a bug, and 
it is in fact an intentional change, I don’t understand the methodology behind 
the change. I’m talking about the fact that if you ever create your own RPMs 
and Fedora things have become slightly more confusing. It used to be that all 
you needed to do in order to sign and build RPM packages was to install the 
development tools group from Yum. It seems for whatever reason they’ve taken 
the GPG signing integration out of RPM by default. This functionality can of 
course be added back, but it requires installing a separate package. There’s 
absolutely no documentation that I’ve been able to find that explains the 
reasoning behind this change, or even that the change took place. I literally 
spent three hours trying to sign a package through RPM only to find that some 
person on a forum somewhere discovered that this RPM signing functionality was 
moved into a separate package called rpm-sign."

Should this change be documented in the release notes? Should it be added now?


Christopher.
