Overview

This node operation retrieves Debian package information from a specific GitLab project using the GitLab API. It is designed to fetch package data for a given project ID, Debian distribution codename or suite, component, and architecture. This is useful for automating the management and retrieval of Debian packages hosted in GitLab repositories, especially in CI/CD pipelines or package distribution workflows.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetch Debian packages for project ID '123' with distribution 'my-distro', component 'main', and architecture 'binary-amd64'.
  2. Automate retrieval of Debian installer binary packages for a specific GitLab project to integrate with deployment scripts.
