Is that enough? I didn't look into details, but I could gather a few facts: 1) rblineprof is a _development_ tool, you should not have to package it to have gitlab in the archive. 2) debugger-ruby_core_source does not look maintained upstream, as the latest version from which it embeds code is 2.1: https://github.com/cldwalker/debugger-ruby_core_source/tree/master/lib/debugger/ruby_core_source The README says "ruby >= 2.0 is not supported", and points to the following page for more information: https://github.com/cldwalker/debugger#known-issues, which says "Only 1.9.2 and 1.9.3 are supported. For 2.X rubies, consider using byebug". And we already have byebug. So, it seems to me that you are going down this rabbit role for nothing.
