Allow install of latest gitlab release (equivalent to github)

Open danhalligan opened this issue 4 years ago • 5 comments

gitlab has a releases API: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/api/releases/ and so it should be possible to specify that we would like to install a specific release, or the latest release (using the @*release) shortcut.

I think this is a relatively trivial addition to install_gitlab.R. I'm happy to give it a go and provide a pull request.

I would also love to see this feature implemented as it would greatly help me in building CI-Pipelines of depending packages.

I'm happy to help if I can. Will take a look into the code on Monday...

Had a first look into the code and unfortunately it's no quick fix. I'm not giving up yet, but will need to invest some more time to understand the surrounding code and how it's done for github.

No worries. Let me know if you have questions about the code in remotes.
