rpm signing is broken on CentOS7

[minfrin]

When signing on CentOS7, rpmbuild breaks as follows:

[INFO] You must set "%_gpg_name" in your macro file [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] BUILD FAILURE [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [INFO] Total time: 5.571s [INFO] Finished at: Thu Aug 03 14:08:20 UTC 2017 [INFO] Final Memory: 9M/27M [INFO] ------------------------------------------------------------------------ [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.codehaus.mojo:rpm-maven-plugin:2.1.5:rpm (default-rpm) on project device-httpd2.4-core: RPM build execution returned: '1' executing '/bin/sh -c cd '/home/minfrin/src/device-zone/platform/el7/device-httpd/device-httpd-2.4-core/trunk/target/rpm/device-httpd2.4-core/SPECS' && 'rpmbuild' '-bb' '--target' 'noarch-redhat-linux' '--buildroot' '/home/minfrin/src/device-zone/platform/el7/device-httpd/device-httpd-2.4-core/trunk/target/rpm/device-httpd2.4-core/buildroot' '--define' '_topdir /home/minfrin/src/device-zone/platform/el7/device-httpd/device-httpd-2.4-core/trunk/target/rpm/device-httpd2.4-core' '--define' '_build_name_fmt %%{ARCH}/%%{NAME}-%%{VERSION}-%%{RELEASE}.%%{ARCH}.rpm' '--define' '_builddir %{_topdir}/BUILD' '--define' '_rpmdir %{_topdir}/RPMS' '--define' '_sourcedir %{_topdir}/SOURCES' '--define' '_specdir %{_topdir}/SPECS' '--define' '_srcrpmdir %{_topdir}/SRPMS' '--define' '_gpg_name platform@device.zone' '--sign' 'device-httpd2.4-core.spec'' -> [Help 1] [ERROR]

On CentOS7 the --sign flag is marked as deprecated:

[minfrin@localhost trunk]$ rpmbuild --help | grep sign --nosignature don't verify package signature(s) --sign generate GPG signature (deprecated, use command rpmsign instead)

It appears the command is also broken.

To fix this, use rpmsign instead.
