Short description
GitLab is an open source MIT licenced git repository management application. It is built on Ruby on Rails and is used by many companies as their internal git management repository. The reason it gained so much popularity is that it bares a strong resemblance to github's looks and feels. It is a project with great potential, under heavy development with a release cycle every month. That "release early, release often" strategy makes it possible to apply bug fixes quite regularly and add new features.
This proposal is aiming to package GitLab and all its dependencies for Fedora and EPEL.
The need I believe it fulfills
More ruby packages
Relevant experience
I have been using/testing GitLab since version 2.0
I contribute upstream
Deployed several times mostly on Debian
Familiar
Given talk
How I intend to implement my proposal
Find all gems GitLab is using:
rubygems git patched from gitlab
Find which of these gems are already packaged
if version mismatch:
