Hi team, I have rebuilt gitlab and all dependencies for stretch-backports and uploaded here https://people.debian.org/~praveen/gitlab/ (about 157 ruby packages were rebuilt).
It starting fine with an initial test, but found some errors in production.log. Any help in testing this would be welcome as I hope to provide stretch-backports as an upgrade path for gitlab currently in stretch (backporting security fixes to 8.13 is very difficult as code has diverged too much). My initial hope was to provide updates via stretch-backports, but sudden explosion of nodejs front end dependencies made that impossible. Now all nodejs modules are installed via npm/yarn and gitlab is moved to contrib. More than a 100 node module packages are stuck in NEW for over 5-7 months and not sure how to get it back in main. If you'd like to help, please volunteer with ftp team and help process the node modules. Thanks Praveen
