This cookbook will deploy gitlab; a free project and repository management application.
Gitlab code hosted on github here.
Going forward, the cookbook major version (i.e. 6.1.x) will target the matching stable branch (i.e. 6-1-stable) of the Gitlab application. The 6.1.x release is not backwards compatible with previous versions targeting Gitlab master.
For the initial 6.1.x release of the cookbook, the default Ruby will be 1.9.3 compiled with ruby_build. Using a compiled 1.9.3 Ruby follows the Gitlab installation guidelines upstream. If you have a better approach which reduced complexity or reduces converge time, please open a pull request on Github.
The application home has moved from /var/gitlab/gitlab
to /srv/git/gitlab
in accordance with the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) version 2.3.
============
- Hard disk space
- About 600 Mb, plus enough space for repositories in application home

- Thanks to Fletcher Nichol for his awesome ruby_build cookbook. This ruby_build LWRP is used to build Ruby 1.9.3 for gitlab.

- Thanks to Brian Bianco for this Redis cookbook.
