Raised in #3437939: GitLab Acceleration Initiative meeting on 3 Apr, 2024 →
Currently packaging is statically controlled by the D.O. Infrastructure. Maintainers are unable to influence the packaging or run any custom processes.
Example tasks maintainers may wish to perform:
N/A
Allow maintainers to use GitLab to package their releases.
Packages would still be served from D.O.
Overwriting packages would still not be permitted.
Create a baseline job in gitlab_templates that can be used by maintainers.
Not Confirmed however expected tasks:
Upgrade D.O. to D10
Create a REST API for the submission of packages.
