Earlier this month, GitLab B.V.'s package signing key expired, requiring them to rotate their key. This means that anyone who uses one of their packages needs to jump through a number of manual hoops to update their apt key configuration, which is an annoying manual process that also requires people to download random files from the Internet -- something extrepo was written to prevent. At least they're served over https, but still.
I didn't notice until today, but I just updated the extrepo
metadata to carry
the new key. That means that if you enable one of the GitLab
repositories through extrepo enable
, you will get the new key rather
than the old one. On top of that, if you had already enabled the
repository through extrepo
, all that is needed for you right now to
pull in the new key is to run extrepo update
.
While I do apologise for the late update, hopefully this should make some people's lives a bit easier.
And if GitLab B.V. reads this: please send me a MR to the repository next time, so that we can make process be done in time
