Generic packages to support directories
Context
You can use the GitLab Package registry to publish generic packages to your GitLab project. You can publish a package with a name, version, and status.
Problem to solve
The above works great for individual files, but what if you have a directory containing a subset of files? You would have to publish each file individually, which would be inefficient.
Proposal
Expand the functionality of the generic package repository to support publishing a directory with sub-files.
Have a look at !141361 (merged) which is this change for the ml_ops
registry. A similar approach (file_name
will hold the entire path) can be used here.
