I have built it on jessie (with tests disabled for some packages). http://mahishasura.pxq.in/ has the gitlab package for jessie. I have automated the build process to a large extend here https://gitlab.com/debian-ruby/backportr https://git.pxq.in is running gitlab on jessie (its a test instance). But we'll soon have git.fosscommunity.in open public (for those who want to be on 100% Free Software, as gitlab.com is running on GitLab EE). You can track its progress at https://www.loomio.org/g/Qu3O8mSf/fosscommunity-in-git-fosscommunity-in-maintainers if you are interested. https://gitlab.com/debian-ruby/backportr/blob/master/lib/gitlab_notes-install.txt gives you additional packages you need to manually install before installing gitlab. https://gitlab.com/debian-ruby/backportr/blob/master/lib/gitlab_notes.txt has the manual steps I had to take for backporting. I'm wondering if it is worth the effort to upload it to jessie-backports. Looking for comments from the backports team. Also any help in maintaining the backports is welcome. The last major issue we have to fix is https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=814871 Any help in debugging and fixing this is welcome. I think once this bug is fixed, we can start working on a gitlab instance for debian, finally!
