-# how to add/updated encrypted gpg to travis
-
-To use the rpm signing script, a gpg secring.gpg is required.
-
-We encrypt this file for Travis-ci, and add it to git. **Be sure not to add the unencrypted file to git**
-
-It is recommended to put it in the `scratch/` dir which is already in the .gitignore and will not be added to git.
-
-## prepare tar file
-
-put the secring.gpg into a directory "gpgdir"
-
-	mkdir scratch/gpgdir
-    cd scratch/gpgdir
-    # create or copy the secring.gpg + pubring.gpg here
-    tar cvf ../gpg.tar *
-
-## encrypt file
-
-Use the `travis` cli tool, you can install with `gem install travis`.
-
-    travis encrypt-file scratch/gpg.tar gpg.tar.enc
-    git add gpg.tar.enc
