GitLab

Created by: voidzero

Hi,

While I do realise that gitlab does not "support FreeBSD officially", I have set it up on my FreeBSD system yesterday and it works perfectly fine. The instructions in installation.md are fine and any FreeBSD user can probably decide how the commands should be for them. As a trivial aside I would prefer it if you would remove the sudo stuff and just prefix the commands with the proper username. But lest I digress back to the issue at hand.

I have only found one issue that, due to its nature, took forever to hunt down. After each push I kept seeing the following error:

remote: error: cannot run hooks/post-receive: No such file or directory

Finally I traced it down: it's because the files in lib/hooks contain the #!/bin/bash shebang, but FreeBSD hasn't this by default. Perhaps you could either set the shebang to #!/bin/sh if it is possible or else to '#!/usr/bin/env bash'

Now that I found this issue I couldn't help but smirk. Please consider this issue.
