There might be a few dependencies I'm forgetting... but otherwise this worked perfectly. :)

1. Setup sudo

    su
    apt-get install sudo
    # Run visudo to check for '%sudo ALL=(ALL) ALL'
    usermod -a -G sudo [username]
    exit

2. Install ruby 1.9.2-p290 as a self-built package

    sudo apt-get install -y wget curl gcc checkinstall libxml2-dev libxslt-dev sqlite3 libsqlite3-dev libcurl4-openssl-dev libc6-dev libssl-dev libmysql++-dev make build-essential zlib1g-dev autoconf readline-common openssl
    wget http://ftp.ruby-lang.org/pub/ruby/1.9/ruby-1.9.2-p290.tar.gz
    tar xfvz ruby-1.9.2-p290.tar.gz
    cd ruby-1.9.2-p290
    autoconf
    ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-openssl-dir=/usr --with-readline-dir=/usr --with-zlib-dir=/usr
    make
    sudo checkinstall -D make install

Answer the prompts as you find fit. Verify that the correct version of Ruby is installed ruby --version You can uninstall ruby easily with dpkg -r ruby-1.9.2

3. Install Gitolite

Generate an ssh key: ssh-keygen -t rsa

Then follow given gitolite installation directions.

4. Install Packages for gitlabhq

  sudo apt-get install python-dev python-pip sendmail-bin sendmail redis-server  libicu-dev
  sudo pip install pygments
  sudo gem install bundler

The default sendmail.mc file in Squeeze may causes error when generating a configuration file during sendmail installation. Pay attention to the output during the install. If you do see an error, replace /etc/mail/sendmail.mc with this gist and run sudo sendmailconfig as necessary.

5. Install gitlabhq

Follow steps 4-7 on the gitlabhq Ubuntu installation wiki

Create a new project, say yes at the prompt; and we have a winner. :)
