### Sharing and signing your local repositories
To share a local repository remotely it's mandatory to sign it and the binary packages
stored on it. This is accomplished with the `xbps-rindex(8)` utility.
First a RSA key must be created with `openssl(1)` or `ssh-keygen(8)`:
$ openssl genrsa -des3 -out privkey.pem 4096
or
$ ssh-keygen -t rsa -b 4096 -f privkey.pem
> NOTE: only RSA keys in PEM format are currently accepted by xbps.
Once the RSA private key is ready you can use it to sign the repository:
$ xbps-rindex --sign --signedby "I'm Groot <groot@me>" --privkey privkey.pem ~/void-packages/hostdir/binpkgs
If the RSA key was protected with a passphrase you'll have to type it, or alternatively set
it via the `XBPS_PASSPHRASE` environment variable.
Once the binary packages have been signed, check the repository contains the appropiate `hex fingerprint`:
$ xbps-query --repository=~/void-packages/hostdir/binpkgs -vL
...
### Rebuilding and overwriting existing local packages
If for whatever reason a package has been built and it is available in your local repository
