Hello,

As some might have noticed, the expiration date of the GPG key we use to  
sign repos and packages for Linux distributions [1](http://nginx.org/en/linux_packages.html) was getting close  
(2016-08-17), so I’ve prolonged the key validity until 2024-06-14. The  
ID of the key stays the same.

If you’re using Debian/Ubuntu packages from [nginx.org](http://nginx.org), you should  
re-fetch and add the updated key to the APT keyring:

# wget [https://nginx.org/keys/nginx\_signing.key](https://nginx.org/keys/nginx_signing.key) && apt-key add

./nginx\_signing.key

If you’re using CentOS/RHEL/SLES:

# wget [https://nginx.org/keys/nginx\_signing.key](https://nginx.org/keys/nginx_signing.key) && rpm --import

./nginx\_signing.key

I’ve also uploaded the updated key to [keys.gnupg.net/pgp.mit.edu](http://keys.gnupg.net/pgp.mit.edu), though  
it might take some time for the pool to catch up on that change.

And finally for the sake of search engines visibility, here’s the apt  
output Debian/Ubuntu users will see after 2016-08-17 with the old key:

W: GPG error: [http://nginx.org](http://nginx.org) jessie Release: The following signatures  
were invalid: KEYEXPIRED 1471427554

Have a nice day,
