GPG key used to sign GitLab package repositories' metadata has been extended

GitLab uses a GPG key to sign the metadata of its apt and yum repositories to ensure the integrity of Linux and GitLab Runner packages, with the current key set to expire on February 6, 2028, after an extension from 2026. The extension of the key's expiration is part of GitLab's security policy to limit exposure risks without causing disruption to users, as rotating to a new key would necessitate all users to replace their trusted key. Existing users are advised to refer to official documentation to update their configurations, while new users simply need to follow standard installation guides. The public key can be refreshed from any GPG keyserver or downloaded directly from GitLab's package site, and additional support is available through the omnibus-gitlab issue tracker.
