Overview

This node operation retrieves the ASCII-armored public key (.asc) for a specific Debian distribution codename associated with a GitLab project. It is useful for users who need to access the Debian package signing key for verifying packages from a project's Debian repository. For example, a developer or system administrator can use this node to programmatically fetch the public key to automate package verification processes.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetching the Debian distribution key for a project to verify package authenticity.
  2. Automating retrieval of Debian keys for multiple projects in a CI/CD pipeline.

Output

JSON

  • key
    • asc - The ASCII-armored public key for the specified Debian distribution codename.

Dependencies

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the project ID and Debian codename are correctly specified and URL-encoded if necessary.
  • Authentication errors may occur if the API key is missing or invalid; verify credentials.
  • The requested Debian distribution key may not exist if the codename is incorrect or the project does not have a Debian distribution configured.
