Finally. Resque is such a PITA with Gitlab. Hopefully the upgrade script will work properly now. I have to fix quite a few bits and pieces every upgrade. Top piece of software, though.

Agreed. It was also eating a lot of memory.

Upgrade (4.0 -> 4.1) ran smoothly. Only thing that was missing in the upgrade guide was installing a new version of the post-receive hook, but since gitlab:check mentioned that and even provided the command to fix this, it wasn't a problem.

Anyone know whether the public mode is just a list of URLs that you can clone from, or does it allow public users to browse the full gitlab UI? Thanks!

I run GitLab on my development VPS and use it for all my projects (and everything to do with them, including client interaction via the wall and issues). It's quite brilliant.

I nearly decided to hack in a Public Mode myself last year, I'm glad it's finally implemented!

This has prompted me into getting back to work on my KanBan SPA, that hooks into GitLabs issues api. I do wish they gave the api a bit more love in this release, but I can't really complain: My $20/m VPS gives me self-hosted Github, Dropbox, and Gmail/Gcal/Contacts "clones". Not bad!

It only gives a list of URLs you can clone from :)

While I love that this is being built, am I the only one that feels a bit dirty about the blatant UI ripoff they are doing of GitHub.

GitHub is a company that in my opinion can't get enough hacker karma, they have done a brilliant job of innovating time and time again and delivering a brilliant product that makes all our lives better. I can't even bring myself to use open source projects on Google Code, it just isn't worth the time. They always seem to act honorably and do their best to provide an incredible product.

Taking all that hard work, in features AND look and feel and blatantly ripping it off would make me worry about my karma. The authors may just find themselves reincarnated as Cobol programmers in their next life.

I don't think they are actually driving any business away from github or I'd be more angry. This seems to fit a niche for people that would like to use github but legally can't put their code online (even in a private repository). It's github for intranets.

Agree though, github deserves all the karma we can throw at it.
