GitLab extends Omnibus package signing key expiration to 2025

GitLab utilizes a GNU Privacy Guard (GPG) key to sign all Omnibus packages produced within its CI pipelines, ensuring package integrity and security. This key, distinct from the repository metadata signing key and the GPG signing key for the GitLab Runner, is set to expire on July 1, 2024, but will be extended to July 1, 2025, to comply with security policies and minimize disruption to users. Users who verify package signatures need to update their package signing key copy, obtainable via GPG keyservers or directly from GitLab's package site. For those not verifying package signatures, no action is required. Further details on signature verification can be found in the Omnibus documentation, and any issues can be reported in the omnibus-gitlab issue tracker.
