Hello, I'm tim, I'm the pm for the package stage at gitlab and today I'm excited to walk you through a few of the features that we have planned for milestone. 14.0.

I will link to the package team's planning issue in the video description. It's helpful to check out. You can see everything that we're working on and everything that we hope to work on. We have our p1 issues. uh This is what we're committing to and then we also identify stretch goals. I would say, if you're interested in contributing this, these stretch goals are a great way to contribute to the package stage as well.

So if you're interested in checking out this issue for more details, please do so I'm going to just highlight a few of the items on this list. The first I'm really excited about uh we're investing over the this milestone and the the next milestone or two in improving our pi api repository.

The first issue that we're working on is adding an endpoint for downloading or installing python packages from the group level. Currently, you could only do this at the project level, so this makes it a bit hard for for those organizations that have many projects or many different subgroups under a group. So this new endpoint you'll be able to download all of your python packages in a given group using one endpoint so they'll make it hopefully will make your life a lot easier.

The next item is allowing you to delete items from the packages list. So right now we have an api that allows you to delete a package itself, but when you publish a package it potentially actually contains many different files that are associated with the package.

What we did last milestone was add an api that you can delete specific files now we're actually adding this functionality to the user interface as well, so you'll be able to see here I'm on the package list page and then once I get to the details page, I could see all of these files down here and you can see the current state that you can't actually delete any of these files individually.

So that's what we'll be adding in milestone? 14.0 you'll be able to from the package details page delete any of the files associated with the package without having to delete the whole package itself.

Another change that we're making to the user interface is publishing the package hash on the package details page so right now, this information is available and it's returned in the api. But it's not surfaced in the user interface and a lot of times. You may want to quickly copy the sha values so that you can confirm that you're using the right one in your pipeline, so this will be available moving forward in 14.0 as well.

Like I mentioned, we have a lot of exciting features going on, but these are three that I wanted to highlight. If you have any questions or interested in how you can contribute to the package stage, please feel free to reach out to me at t rizzi get lab.com and I look forward to collaborating with you in the issues. Thank you very much.
