The move away from Gitolite is great as I know it was the source of many of install and upgrade headaches however the new component they've replaced it with is very very closely coupled to GitLab.

This could have been a great chance to create a lightweight alternative to Gitolite for other projects to use too.

Yes, we hope to make installing and upgrading GitLab much easier this way.

We wanted to allow other projects to use GitLab-shell too, that is why we made it a separate project https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-shell

I'd like to thank the developers for this great project. I finally convinced my team to switch over from SVN to git after I showed them Gitlab. (GitHub was never an option due to corporate data security policies. Even for GitHub private repos.)

You are welcome! Glad you like it and thank you for speaking up.

I set up gitlab for some "skunkworks" projects at my day job, and it's been really great. The Gitolite dep never bothered me (the gitlab install is well documented), but seems like a good thing. Thanks for your hard work, guys and gals!

You're welcome, hope your skunkworks project becomes the golden standard :-)

I think its hilarious that all the Gitlab development is occurring on Github.

We're pragmatic about the development of GitLab. A lot of people want public projects, it is the most popular request for GitLab http://gitlab.uservoice.com/forums/176466-general/suggestion...

Next Amsterdam.rb hackathon we'll get it done :D
