Overview

This node operation updates a Debian distribution codename for a specific group in GitLab via the GitLab API. It is useful for managing Debian package repositories associated with GitLab groups, allowing users to modify distribution details programmatically. For example, it can be used to update the codename of a Debian distribution to reflect changes in the repository structure or naming conventions.

Use Case Examples

  1. Updating the Debian codename 'sid' for a GitLab group with ID '12345' to manage package distribution settings.
  2. Automating Debian distribution updates in CI/CD pipelines for GitLab groups.

Output

JSON

  • response - The JSON response from the GitLab API after updating the Debian distribution codename, containing details of the updated distribution.

Dependencies

  • GitLab API key credential for authentication

Troubleshooting

  • Ensure the group ID and Debian codename path parameters are correctly provided and URL-encoded if necessary.
  • Verify that the API key credential has sufficient permissions to update Debian distributions in the specified GitLab group.
  • Check the base URL to ensure it points to the correct GitLab instance if using a self-hosted GitLab server.
  • Common error messages may include authentication failures, permission denied errors, or invalid parameter errors. Verify credentials and parameter correctness to resolve these.
