add ruby 2.7 and native modules required by gitlab to fasttrack

Note: apt -t buster-backports install gitlab=13.1.4-1+fto10+1 for installing gitlab with ruby 2.5

Preparation

Notes

  1. Create buster-fasttrack branch from the last release tag (Example: git checkout -b buster-fasttrack debian/1.1.2-1. Use git log for find last uploaded tag).
  2. Add new changelog entry like given in https://wiki.debian.org/FastTrack (or run dch --bpo and modify version s/~bpo/+fto/ and s/backports/fasttrack/)
  3. Update minimum version of gem2deb to 1.3 (and mention it in changelog)
  4. Build with sbuild using ruby 2.7 from fasttrack repo (see commands below)
  5. Add tag gbp tag --debian-branch=buster-fasttrack

Building with fasttrack repo enabled

Save the following as /usr/local/bin/sbuild-fto and run chmod +x /usr/local/bin/sbuild-fto. Note: Replace http://HTTPS//// with https:// if you are not using apt-cacher-ng.

sbuild -A -s --force-orig-source -c buster-amd64-sbuild --extra-repository='deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-backports main' --extra-repository='deb http://incoming.debian.org/debian-buildd buildd-buster-backports main' --extra-repository='deb http://fasttrack.debian.net/debian buster-backports main' --extra-repository='deb http://fasttrack.debian.net/debian buster-fasttrack main' --extra-repository-key=$HOME/forge/debian/fasttrack-archive-key.asc --build-dep-resolver=aptitude -d buster-fasttrack --no-run-lintian "$@"

or if we need some build dependencies from fasttrack-staging repo (some package from the list below). Save the following as /usr/local/bin/sbuild-fto2 and run chmod +x /usr/local/bin/sbuild-fto

sbuild -A -s --force-orig-source -c buster-amd64-sbuild --extra-repository='deb http://deb.debian.org/debian buster-backports main' --extra-repository='deb http://incoming.debian.org/debian-buildd buildd-buster-backports main' --extra-repository='deb http://fasttrack.debian.net/debian buster-backports main' --extra-repository='deb http://fasttrack.debian.net/debian buster-fasttrack main' --extra-repository='deb http://HTTPS////people.debian.org/~praveen/fasttrack-staging/ buster-fasttrack main' --extra-repository='deb http://HTTPS////people.debian.org/~srud/fasttrack-staging/ buster-fasttrack main' --extra-repository-key=$HOME/forge/debian/praveen.key.new.asc --extra-repository-key=$HOME/forge/debian/fasttrack-archive-key.asc --extra-repository-key=$HOME/forge/debian/srud.key.asc --build-dep-resolver=aptitude -d buster-fasttrack --no-run-lintian "$@"
