Comment(by hiviah):

 Rough overview of the proposed deployment of RPM builds:

 1. cron script checks for new tags in git, verifies tag signature
 2. for every target package architecture: build, install in chroot, test
 if basic things like check.torproject.org work via curl/SOCKS5
 3. Notify maintainer (me,...) about success/failure, maintainer signs rpms
 offline
 4. Working singed rpms are uploaded to tpo web (script also does cleanup
 of very old packages)
 5. If anything broke, maintainer fixes it, pushes to a repo like
 git.tpo/rpm/tor.git, requests pull/merge

 It would be probably a good idea to make the rpm build "similar" to deb
 build (at least for consistency sake and integration with nagios/etc).
