 If the release tool is **not** used the `Chart.yaml` and the `values.yaml` 
must be updated manually.
 The other option is to run the helm script against the generated source 
directory as the tool does:
 ```shell script
-helm package --sign --key ${your_key_name} --keyring ${path/to/keyring.secret} 
staging/<release-dir>/helm-charts/yunikorn --destination staging/
+helm package --sign --key <your_key_name> --keyring </path/to/keyring.secret>

 ```
-Signing the helm package requires a legacy PGP keyring. The PGP v2 keyring 
must be converted to the legacy format.

+The key name provided in the `--key` argument must be contained in your key's 
uid. The helm tool checks if the name provided is part of the key's uid via a 
substring match.

+gpg --list-secret-keys

+It is not possible to use the new keybox (kbx) format. Please use the 
following command to convert your keyring to the legacy gpg format:
+```shell script
+gpg --export >~/.gnupg/pubring.gpg
+gpg --export-secret-keys >~/.gnupg/secring.gpg

+Note that you will be required to enter your passphrase for each secret keys 
that is exported.
+The file that is created by exporting the secrect keys, 
`~/.gnupg/secring.gpg`, is the path used in the `--keyring` parameter.

+All this combined will result in a similar command for signing the helm charts 
when run from the top level of the checked out release repository:
+```shell script
+helm package --sign --key [email protected] --keyring ~/.gnupg/secring.gpg

+There is no option to provide the passphrase any other way to the helm tool.
 The helm package will generate two files:
 - helm package: example `yunikorn-0.8.0.tgz`
 - provenance or signature file: example `yunikorn-0.8.0.tgz.prov`
