From YouTube: GitLab 12.5 Kickoff - Package
Description
Highlight of some issues we have planned for GitLab milestone 12.5, which is scheduled for release on November 22nd, 2019.
A
Oh,
hello,
I'm,
Tim
I'm,
the
product
manager
for
the
package
stage
here
at
gate,
lab
and
I'm
here
to
talk
to
you
about
some
of
the
features
that
we
have
planned
in
our
upcoming
milestone,
12.5,
which
is
slated
for
release
on
November
22nd
of
this
year.
So
these
are
some
of
the
items
that
I'd
like
to
highlight.
The
first
here
is
I'm
really
excited
about
adding
gitlab
metadata
to
the
package
registry
user
interface.
A
The
next
one
is
adding
contextual
documentation
to
help
users.
Download
NPM
packages
is
a
mouthful,
but
really
what
we're
talking
about
is
as
part
of
the
package
registry
UI
include
a
an
install
command
that
would
allow
any
user
that
has
access
to
the
package
to
be
able
to
copy
that
snippet
to
the
command
line
and
download
the
specific
NPM
package
as
needed.
So
this
is
something
that
all
the
different
package
manager
formats
have
as
part
of
their
user
interface,
and
it
makes
sense
for
us
to
do
the
same
thing.
A
nice,
easy,
boring
solution.
A
The
third
one
here
is
improve
the
performance
of
the
delete
API
for
the
container
registry.
So
for
those
of
you
that
don't
know
as
part
of
the
container
registry,
we
have
an
API
that
allows
you
to
do
multiple
things
like
listing
repositories
or
deleting
repositories,
but
the
one
we're
talking
about
here
is
deleting
tags
in
bulk,
which
allows
you
to
using
regex
specify
which
tags
you
would
like
to
delete,
using
by
name
or
by
date
that
they've
been
around.
A
The
problem
is
that
for
large
organizations
that
create
many
tags
as
part
of
their
CI
process,
this
could
be.
This
is
a
not
very
performant
API,
so
we
need
to
improve
the
performance
of
this
so
that
we
can
help
our
customers
and
ourselves
get
mod,
lower
the
cost
of
storage
and
and
and
maintain
a
clean
container
registry.
So
this
is
this
task
is
to
improve
the
performance
of
that
API,
and
there
are
several
ideas
that
are
being
talked
about
in
this
issue.
You
can
follow
along
the
next.
A
Two
are
ones
that
have
carried
over
from
previous
milestones,
but
I
could
talk
about
touch
on
them
briefly.
The
first
is
to
authenticate
with
CI
job
token
for
the
NPM
registry,
so
we
have
an
NPM
registry
that
allows
you
to
build
and
publish
NPM
packages
to
your
project
or
to
your
group,
but
it
currently
doesn't
work
with
the
predefined
environment
variable
CI
job
token.
A
Manager'
support
for
C
and
C++
developers,
similar
to
our
other
package
managers,
you'll,
be
able
to
use
the
conan
client
you'll,
be
able
to
authenticate
with
personal
X
the
get
lab
personal
access,
token
and
you'll
be
able
to
create
and
upload
packages
to
the
your
get
lab
registry
and
a
one
small
difference
between
this
and
other
package
managers
is
the
UI.
Conan
has
a
concept
of
custom
variables
that
are
just
key
value
pairs,
and
so
we
have
this
little
drop-down
here.
A
Okay,
those
are
that's
some
of
the
highlights
of
what
we're
working
on
in
12.5.
There
is
much
more
we're
working
on
if
you'd
like
to
hear
more,
you
could
always
reach
out
to
me
at
tea
Rizzi
at
get
lab
comm
or
follow
along
in
the
issues.
I'd
love
to
hear
more
about
what
you
think
and
what
you're
working
on.
Thank
you
so
much
and
look
forward
to
12.5
being
really.
