Changes to packages.gitlab.com: What you need to know

GitLab has been transitioning its package hosting system on packages.gitlab.com to a new infrastructure, maintaining the same domain but updating URL formats, GPG key locations, network requirements, and the package browsing UI. Existing configurations will remain functional until September 30, 2026, with URL rewrite rules supporting backward compatibility during the transition. After this period, only the new URL formats will be supported, necessitating updates to configuration settings for DEB and RPM repositories, GPG key references, firewall and proxy allowlists, and mirroring configurations. The old PackageCloud system will be phased out by March 31, 2026, and all traffic is already being served from the new system, minimizing disruption. Users are encouraged to update their configurations promptly and can find detailed instructions in the updated installation documentation. The package browsing interface has been revamped, and any feedback or issues during this transition can be reported for support.
