This means that all packages provided on <https://packages.gitlab.com> are signed, starting with `9.5.0`, and all future versions of supported branches (e.g. `9.3.x` and `9.4.x` after August 22, 2017). Any package version prior to August 22, 2017, will not be signed. Please pass the appropriate argument to your package manager. (Example: `yum --nogpgcheck`) + +Omnibus GitLab packages produced by GitLab are created via the [Omnibus](https://github.com/chef/omnibus) tool, for which GitLab has added DEB signing via `debsigs` in [our own fork](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus). This addition, combined with the existing functionality of RPM signing, allows GitLab to provide signed packages for all supported distributions using DEB or RPM. + +These packages are produced by the GitLab CI process, as found in the [Omnibus GitLab project](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/omnibus-gitlab/blob/master/.gitlab-ci.yml), prior to their delivery to <https://packages.gitlab.com> to ensure provide assurance that the packages are not altered prior to delivery to our community. + +## GnuPG Public Keys + +All packages are signed with [GnuPG](https://www.gnupg.org/), in a method appropriate for their format. The key used to sign these packages can be found on [pgp.mit.edu](https://pgp.mit.edu) at [0x3cfcf9baf27eab47](https://pgp.mit.edu/pks/lookup?op=vindex&search=0x3CFCF9BAF27EAB47) + +## Verifying Signatures + +Information on how to verify GitLab package signatures can be found in [Package Signatures](https://docs.gitlab.com/omnibus/update/package_signatures.html). + +## GPG Signature Management + +Information on how GitLab manages GPG keys for package signing can be found in [the runbooks](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/runbooks/-/blob/master/docs/packaging/manage-package-signing-keys.md). |
