Gentoo Packages

With the upcoming version 13.8.3 the gitlab overlay will get a grand refactoring:

• www-apps/gitlabhq will be renamed to www-apps/gitlab
• Since gitlab and gitlay must have necessarily the same version, they will be merged together in the new www-apps/gitlab package.
• Due to the refactoring slots are no longer required. That means no eselect and no version number in the paths anymore.
• The configs will be installed in /etc/gitlab/ and from then on are managed the standard gentoo way. (1)
• By means of "Post Deployment Migrations" as described in <gilab-base-dir>/doc/development/post_deployment_migrations.md upgrading will take place without downtime. (2)
• The ebuild will check if one is on a supported "Upgrade path" (see <gilab-base-dir>/doc/update/README.md) to ensure that the requirements for "Upgrading without downtime" are met.

--- (1) Nearly: Because gitlab expects the parent directory of the config

  files to be its base directory, a tool will be added to sync changes
  made in /etc/gitlab/ into /opt/gitlab/gitlab/config/. Maybe this
  will be done automatically on service (re)start.

(2) Nearly: The still required restart needs some time (about 90 secs on

  my machine e.g.). Also for the gitlabhq -> gitlab migration you'll
  have to stop gitlab during "emerge --config" for the last time.
