Summary

GitLab's GPG key used for signing Omnibus packages, initially set to expire on July 1, 2020, has had its expiration extended to July 1, 2021, as part of GitLab's security practices to minimize risk in case of key compromise. Users who verify package signatures must update their copy of the signing key, though most users will not need to take any action unless they have configured their package manager to verify these signatures. Information on verifying package signatures is available in the Omnibus documentation, and the public key can be refreshed from GPG keyservers or directly downloaded from GitLab's package repository. If issues arise, users are advised to open an issue in the omnibus-gitlab issue tracker for assistance.
