Bug#651606: RFP: gitlab -- git project/repository hosting management app
Hi,
the official omnibus packaging is as far as i know not suitable for the debian distribution. There are other efforts like Daniel Bäurers packaging which i took as the base for my package, which i updated until 7.2. Maybe you take a look at https://github.com/1and1/gitlab-dpkg/tree/wheezy-7-2-stable which is my updated version of Daniels package (he stopped ad 6.5). Any update to my package would require backporting ruby 2 to wheezy because we only use wheezy/stable in production. Maybe this can help you a bit. The biggest problem seems to be packaging of all the required gems. The database initialization, and the possibility to use either MySQL or Postgres, and the same (apache/nginx) is another problem. Database password and base init of the users ist still hacky in Daniels and my package and not convinient yet.
Kind regards,
Andreas
