Hi,
We cannot support more than one version of gitlab at any time. Gitlab by nature 
has fast releases and only way to keep up is keep updating gitlab. Only if 
upstream provides a long term supported version, we can support a gitlab 
version for longer than a month. Currently our goal is to go along with the 
upstream releases.

If there are more volunteers we can probably extend it up to 3 months. Even 
more resources will be required if we want to provide support for more than 
that.


Yes, I can fully understand this, and this is basically ok. My issue is simply that I am kind of forced to upgrade as soon as possible and cannot even delay that for a week or so. Usually I automatically update all packages each night except Gitlab which is on hold, but since there might be updates to dependencies of Gitlab, Gitlab can still break easily… I do not see a very good solution to that either apart from holding all ruby packages.


Best,
Maximilian
