It is useful for developers and DevOps teams who manage Conan packages within GitLab's package registry, allowing them to fetch metadata or details about a particular package version, user, and channel.

Use Case Examples

  1. Fetch details of a Conan package version '1.0' named 'my-package' for user 'my-group+my-project' in the 'stable' channel within a specific GitLab project.
  2. Use this operation to verify package metadata or to automate package management workflows in CI/CD pipelines.
