Description Andreas J. Bathe 2000-01-06 18:57:12 UTC 
When inserting the packager flag into ~/.rpmrc (or even /etc/rpmrc)
rpm responds with "bad option 'packager' at ~/.rpmrc:<lineno>";
the same with other options like signature, pgp_name or pgp_path.
The old rpm version worked with the examples from
http://www.redhat.com/mirrors/LDP/HOWTO/RPM-HOWTO-6.html#ss6.1
Comment 1 Jeff Johnson 2000-01-06 19:26:59 UTC 
Rpm-3.0.x accomplishes the same task (in your case) by putting in
~/.rpmmacros (or /etc/rpm/macros):
    %packager	whatever

Ditto for signature configuration. Here's what I have in my ~/.rpmmacros:
    #%_signature    pgp
    %_pgp_name      Jeff Johnson <jbj>
    %_pgp_path      /home/devel/jbj/.pgp

    %_signature     gpg
    %_gpg_name      Jeff Johnson (ARS N3NPQ) <jbj>
    %_gpg_path      /home/devel/jbj/.gnupg
