Hello everyone, Alexander is working on updating his gitlab/gitlab-bundle debian package to the latest stable release, 4.0.0. Once he's done, I'll be able to adapt it to the Debian standards. I just have a few questions once again :) - There are quite a few ruby libraries that will need to be packaged for Debian in order to get gitlab into our repos. I don't yet have an exact number of new packages needed for 4.0.0, but it will probably be well over a dozen packages. Will that be a problem? If not, how would we manage so many sponsorship requests? - In gitlab's Gemfile, I can see where it needs some specific patched libs in order to function. Thus, they would be of no use to any other programs, which is why I don't know how to package them. Perhaps as gitlab-libs? This is the bit that troubles me: # GITLAB patched libs gem "grit", git: "https://github.com/gitlabhq/grit.git";, ref: '7f35cb98ff17d534a07e3ce6ec3d580f67402837' gem "omniauth-ldap", git: "https://github.com/gitlabhq/omniauth-ldap.git";, ref: 'f038dd852d7bd473a557e385d5d7c2fd5dc1dc2e' gem 'yaml_db', git: "https://github.com/gitlabhq/yaml_db.git";, ref: '98e9a5dca43e3fedd3268c76a73af40d1bdf1dfd' gem 'grack', git: "https://github.com/gitlabhq/grack.git";, ref: 'ba46f3b0845c6a09d488ae6abdce6ede37e227e8' gem 'grit_ext', git: "https://github.com/gitlabhq/grit_ext.git";, ref: '8e6afc2da821354774aa4d1ee8a1aa2082f84a3e' Most of the dependencies just require a minimum or specific version, or even no specific version at all. These won't be a problem. But gitlab's patched dependencies are not only specific to the package, but are bound specific to a git ref as well. - Under the same Gemfile, there are a few dependency groups; :assets, :development, :test and :production. My first impression is to package just the former and the last, since devel and test seem like they won't be needed for normal use. Would that be correct? - Even if we packaged all the missing dependencies, as of now packages like rails3 do not meet the minimum version required by gitlab. I suppose rails3 has been kept frozen since August, so surely it will be updated once Wheezy is released, right? Thank you all for your time and patience! -- Daniel Martí - mvdan@mvdan.cc - GPG 0x58BF72C3
