Conan package names are not clear in the package registry UI

Problem to solve

The GitLab Package registry does not display Conan Package Recipes correctly. Using the example from the GitLab Documentation, The recipe should look like Hello/0.1@my-group+my-project/beta, but in the user interface they show up as Hello/0.1@/. This means that if we have multiple different packages, e.g.:

Hello/0.1@my-group+my-project/stable
Hello/0.1@my-group+my-project/beta
Hello/0.1@my-group+my-project/test

they all look the same and there is no way to easily tell them apart. e.g.:

Hello/0.1@/
Hello/0.1@/
Hello/0.1@/

Intended users

User experience goal

  • Packages with similar names are distinguishable in the Package Registry UI

Proposal

Add the full Conan recipe to the UI to make it easier to find and verify a given package.
