### MVC Checklist
When adding support to GitLab for a new package manager, the first iteration must contain the
following features. You can add the features through many merge requests as needed, but all the
features must be implemented when the feature flag is removed.
- Project-level API
- Push event tracking
- Pull event tracking
- Authentication with Personal Access Tokens
- Authentication with Job Tokens
- Authentication with Deploy Tokens (group and project)
- File size [limit](#file-size-limits)
- File format guards (only accept valid file formats for the package type)
- Name regex with validation
- Version regex with validation
- Workhorse route for [accelerated](uploads.md#how-to-add-a-new-upload-route) uploads
- Background workers for extracting package metadata (if applicable)
- Documentation (how to use the feature)
- API Documentation (individual endpoints with curl examples)
- Seeding in [`db/fixtures/development/26_packages.rb`](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/blob/master/db/fixtures/development/26_packages.rb)
- Update the [runbook](https://gitlab.com/gitlab-com/runbooks/-/blob/31fb4959e89db25fddf865bc81734c222daf32dd/dashboards/stage-groups/package.dashboard.jsonnet#L74) for the Grafana charts
- End-to-end feature tests for (at the minimum) publishing and installing a package
### Future Work
While working on the MVC, contributors might find features that are not mandatory for the MVC but can provide a better user experience. It's generally a good idea to keep an eye on those and open issues.
