If you just run setup, and update it when it tells you to update it, no 
action is required, and this message chain will be of limited interest 
to you.

This update is following the policy announced at [1]:

Also see that post for further discussion of the technicals details of 
setup signing.

The transition period, during which signatures are made using both keys 
will probably be approx. 90 days, circumstances permitting.

Note that due to technical limitations in old versions of setup, the 
form of signature we use on setup.ini is one that gpg can make, but 
cannot verify for both keys. This is only an issue if you manually 
verify setup.ini with gpg, rather than letting setup do it. (See [2])

As of today, the signature made is not compatible with setup versions 
<=2.894, and thus they will no longer work.

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-----
Hash: SHA256

This is an announcement of an update to the key used to sign (i) Cygwin setup executables, and (ii) the (compressed) setup.ini package manifest.

For a transitional period, these items will be signed using both the old and new keys.

The old key was:

$  gpg --keyid-format=long --with-fingerprint --list-keys 676041BA
pub   1024D/A9A262FF676041BA 2008-06-13
      Key fingerprint = 1169 DF9F 2273 4F74 3AA5  9232 A9A2 62FF 6760 41BA
uid                          Cygwin <cygwin@cygwin.com>
sub   1024g/0AF098B5A1DB7B5C 2008-06-13
      Key fingerprint = F025 F81A E24C 6F04 C2C4  8626 0AF0 98B5 A1DB 7B5C

and the new key is:

$ gpg --keyid-format=long --with-fingerprint --list-keys E2E56300
pub   4096R/1A698DE9E2E56300 2020-02-27 [expires: 2022-02-26]
      Key fingerprint = 5640 5CF6 FCC8 1574 682A  5D56 1A69 8DE9 E2E5 6300
uid                          Cygwin <cygwin@cygwin.com>

This message is signed with both old and new keys.

You can verify those signature by saving this message to a text file, and running

    gpg --verify cygwin.asc

You can import the new key to your gpg keyring by saving this message to a text file, and running

    gpg --import cygwin.asc
