[question] Conan Package for associated git commit

Hello,

we are using the conan attribute scm and the automatic detection of the revision with the auto value.

class MyConanFile(ConanFile):
    ...
    scm = {
        "type": "git",
        "url": "auto",
        "revision": "auto"
    }

Our Jenkins is automatically uploading for a new commit the associated conan package to our artifactory. In some cases i want to promote one of this conan packages to our “releases” artifactory. Most times it is not so easy to find the associated package, because of the amount of packages. The order using the rrev in artifactory does not help here much.

Is there the possibility to find with conan search (or conan info) cmd the associated conan package by handing over the git revision?

• I’ve read the CONTRIBUTING guide.

Thanks a lot, also from my point of view we can close this issue. Would be happy if something like conan metadata search could be implemented in future to be able to search for metadata like scm attributes and only handing over the package name.

Regards!

SCM has a revision_mode attribute which can be changed from the default (hash to scm). This will make the Conan RREV value use the GIT revision instead of hashing the sources. Then, you can just conan install rref#git_revision. Is that correct @memsharded @jgsogo ?
