Dear all, Here is some information about where we stand today in the process of packaging GitLab.
GitLab has quite a lot of dependencies. Those are Ruby gems listed in the Gemfile in the source code. And these gems have themselves dependencies, having themselves dependencies... A graph of dependencies, extracted from the gems metadata can be found here: http://people.debian.org/~boutil/gitlab/gitlab_deps20140306.pdf The color code is as follows: - green: in the archive - orange: ITP - purple: RFP - yellow: in the NEW queue So currently, we have: - 156 dependencies - 93 are packaged - 4 are in NEW - 15 ITPs but some are stalled - 43 are unpackaged and have no ITP/RFP bugs (but some may have already Git repositories on Alioth in the pkg-ruby-extras project) So we are about 66% way through. The graph currently does not contain development dependencies, which include libraries needed to run the tests. They represent about 50% more packages, with about the same ratio packaged/unpackaged. There are some points needing to be checked with upstream. In particular, there are several gems named gitlab-*, which seem to be either patched versions of some libraries, or libraries stuck at a specific version. we need to help GitLab get rid of those patches by modifing GitLab or get the patches included upstream. I've submitted a "GitLab dependencies packaging" task for the new contributor game organized by Debian France. We'll see how it goes. In the mean time, feel free to pick one of the unpackaged/stalled ITP dependencies, and make of it a nice Debian package. Cheers, Cédric
