[Rpm-maint] [rpm-software-management/rpm] Rust bindings for rpmlib (#429)

(From a quick perusal of your rust code)

You may need bindings for a FD_t since certain routines in the rpmlib API take a FD_t.

There is also (in RPM4) a key ring object, basically a container for pubkeys. However RPM avoided handling private keys last century "munitions" and externalized signing operations in a helper.

The attempts to do hardware signing for *.rpm are pretty much ad hoc slice-and-dice in external custom code. There are some hard design issues locating a key store when chroot(2) is routinely used as in rpm.
