No new Container Images on registry.gitlab.com/python-gitlab/python-gitlab since v5.6.0 #3395
Description
Description of the problem, including code/CLI snippet
As per the documentation docker images are pushed to the GitLab container registry. However, the gitlab container registry of this project's latest container image for registry.gitlab.com/python-gitlab/python-gitlab is version v5.6.0 while the py package's current version is v8.3.0.
Expected Behavior
All releases produce a container image that is pushed to https://gitlab.com/python-gitlab/python-gitlab/container_registry/592152
Actual Behavior
Since version v5.6.0 no further release was pushed as a container image to https://gitlab.com/python-gitlab/python-gitlab/container_registry/592152

Looks like the mirror to https://gitlab.com/python-gitlab/python-gitlab has been disabled, meaning that no new tags after 5.6.0 are in GitLab.
The .gitlab-ci.yml file hasn't changed, so as soon as the tags get mirrored to Gitlab then the images should get build

Can the team elaborate on why the mirror to gitlab was disabled?
TimKnight01 commentedon Jul 14, 2026
@uluzox I cannot, I'm not a maintainer, all I can say from investigating is that is what has happened

One issue is that on GitLab we no longer have the Premium level. I believe that level has to be re-applied for each year for open source projects.
The Premium level is where "Pull" mirroring is available. That is how the sync between them is currently being done.

@JohnVillalovos yes I believe it does have to be re-applied for each year for OSS frustratingly

One issue is: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/work_items/543742 as at the moment the LGPL v3 license is being detected as "Other" and thus not allowing to apply as an open-source project 😢 Can see that here: https://gitlab.com/python-gitlab/python-gitlab/-/blob/main/COPYING
fix(COPYING): Use the combined LGPGL and GPL license text.

I have proposed a PR to make our LGPGL v3 license be recognized by GitLab: #3420

The LGPL license has been updated. Git Lab repository synced with current GitHub repository. Git Lab Open Source program application approved. Mirroring has started back up again. And docker images have been built for x86_64 and ARM64.
Container registry: https://gitlab.com/python-gitlab/python-gitlab/container_registry/
@nejch FYI about the above
