Not really related to the acquisition, but what's the status on running GitLab on the arm architecture such as the Raspberry Pi? I'd love to run that.

  No problem, thanks for asking. With the 1GB RAM Pi coming out running GitLab is a lot easier. It would be nice to have a precompiled Omnibus package for it (like the ones for other platforms on https://about.gitlab.com/downloads/ https://about.gitlab.com/downloads/). We hope someone will contribute this. For now you'll have to install from source https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/doc/install/installation.md https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/doc/inst... More about the memory requirements can be found in https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/doc/install/requirements.md#memory https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab-ce/blob/master/doc/inst...

    It doesn't work currently on the rpi2 - there is at least one crash during install: https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/issues/8809 https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/issues/8809 and https://github.com/cowboyd/therubyracer/issues/317 https://github.com/cowboyd/therubyracer/issues/317 Gogs works though.

      Thanks for raising this, we'll look into it. Some of our team just got a RPi2 in our (very delayed) christmas gifts. So we'll be trying to improve the situation. But if someone knows why precompiling fails only on Rpi's please comment in the issues.

        We're using https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/issues/8809 https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlabhq/issues/8809 to discuss this issue. It seems solvable by using Node instead of the RubyRacer.
