"If you are creating and distributing RPMs, one thing you may want to
consider providing digital signatures for the RPMs. Providing such a
digital signature for an RPM will allow users, no matter where their
copy of the RPM originated, to verify that you are it’s creator. Not
only can they perform such verification, they can do it without
requiring any intervention on your behalf." [1]

Although it's your personal copy, if you offer to others,
it's without doubt a good practice, to sign it. ;)

It's not just building the package, but also an understanding of the
whole process and your eventual assistance to other colleagues related
to debugging. ;)
