Overview

This node operation retrieves Debian package source information from a specific project in GitLab using the GitLab API. It is useful for users who want to access Debian package distribution details, including source package data, for a given project. For example, it can be used to automate the retrieval of Debian package sources for continuous integration or package management workflows.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetch Debian source package information for a project identified by its ID, specifying the distribution codename and component.
  2. Automate monitoring of Debian package sources in a GitLab project to trigger downstream build processes.

Properties

Name Meaning

Output

JSON

  • id - The project ID or identifier used in the request path.
  • distribution - The Debian distribution codename or suite specified in the query.
  • component - The Debian component specified in the request path.
  • sources - The retrieved Debian source package information from the GitLab API response.

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the project ID and component parameters are correctly URL-encoded to avoid 404 errors.
  • Verify that the GitLab API key has sufficient permissions to access the project's package registry.
  • Check that the distribution codename matches an existing Debian distribution in the project to prevent empty or error responses.
