After being in the &os; Ports Collection for three months, + GitLab continues to mature and gain adoption. Most of its + starting problems have been resolved, with one known issue + left: it does not start on boot. Any help in solving this + issue is welcome.

+ +

Staying in sync with upstream is now easy for minor versions. + But, some of the monthly major releases create a big workload + by introducing a number of new dependencies. This makes + testing and updating an expensive process.

+ +

The GitLab project itself now mentions native support on + &os;, which is quite a commendation.

+ +

Current work aims to fix the open problems, get the latest + major version into the port, and create the documentation for + the update progress.
