Just wanted to +1 the parent comment. I'm sure you're tired of hearing this, but it feels pretty backwards that we have to disable parts of the installation just to get it to work alongside other stuff (with a shared nginx instance, etc).
Its understandable why you wanted to bundle everything, and I bet it makes installation much easier for beginners and/or lazy sysadmins.
That said, it would be even better if the installation worked with existing software instead of installing its own copy of everything. It seems like apt package dependencies would be more elegant than bundling everything together.
Its great to have the installation from source as a supported option. But lets be honest, that's a world of pain that's simply unnecessary for a standard deployment.

- favadi 11y agoThat's great! Is there any ETA or discussion I can follow?
- sytse 11y agoThe feedback issue is in http://feedback.gitlab.com/forums/176466-general/suggestions/6151718-native-debian-deb-and-fedora-rpm-packages http://feedback.gitlab.com/forums/176466-general/suggestions... but Pirate Praveen mostly sends updates by email and the GitLab issue tracker. He has it running and seems to be in the final stages.
