Package: tech-ctte
Control: block 856606 by -1
Hi,
#856606 is filed as a serious bug against gitlab version 8.13.11+dfsg-4
in unstable as upgrading from 8.13.11+dfsg-3 in testing fails because
/etc/gitlab/gitlab-debian.conf is changed in the new version. I think
this should not be considered an RC bug as it will require making
complicated changes in postinst to support a configuration file that was
never part of any stable release. It is much simpler to make this change
manually and I think it is reasonable to expect users who use testing or
unstable to make those changes manually. Such a requirement will make
changes in unstable/testing much harder than required. I fully agree to
support upgrading between versions in stable releases.
This was the change made to /etc/gitlab/gitlab-debian.conf:
-nginx_conf_example=/usr/share/doc/gitlab/nginx.conf.example
-nginx_ssl_conf_example_gz=/usr/share/doc/gitlab/nginx.ssl.conf.example.gz
+nginx_conf_example=/usr/lib/gitlab/templates/nginx.conf.example
+nginx_ssl_conf_example=/usr/lib/gitlab/templates/nginx.ssl.conf.example
I request CTTE to declare this bug as not RC.

We've decided to close this bug. It's pretty clear that supporting
upgrades, also within unreleased suites, is a requirement, even if it's
not formally documented in Policy.
If you want to conduct experiments where you don't want to support
upgrades, use experimental instead, since the requirements there are
less strict.
