Overview

This node operation retrieves specific Conan package files from a GitLab repository using the GitLab API. It is designed to fetch files related to Conan packages, such as conanfile.py, conanmanifest.txt, or conan_package.tgz, by specifying detailed package parameters including package name, version, username, channel, recipe revision, and file name. This is useful for developers managing Conan packages in GitLab, enabling automated access to package files for CI/CD pipelines or package management workflows.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetching the 'conanfile.py' for a specific Conan package version to verify its recipe.
  2. Downloading the 'conan_package.tgz' file for deployment or testing purposes.
