Bug#651606: RFP: gitlab -- git project/repository hosting management app

[Andreas Wirooks <andreas.wirooks@1und1.de>]

Hi Johannes,
thank you for your analysis. Gitlab is really a monster in it's
dependencies :-(

Colleagues ended using the omnibus packaging. This is a security hell...
...but gitlab is only used internally here, so this is not a problem.

The other problem is the release cycle. Gitlab is a rolling release
with a new version every month. There is no LTS version which we could
use as base.

> ...get on with packaging and patching gitlab itself.
This is a lot of work for the missing and incompatible gems and requires
good ruby skills. I can package but i am not a Ruby specialst...
Kind regards,
Andreas
