**Title:** Work on node dependencies for Debian's GitLab package.
|
|
|
|
|
|
**Proposal Status:** Draft.

|
### Synopsis
|
|
|
|
|
|
GitLab's Debian package has a [load of dependencies](https://packages.debian.org/sid/gitlab). This put's in loads of moving parts which needs to be packaged, patched and updated for GitLab package to keep on working.
|
|
|
|
|
|
In my proposal, as mentioned by Sruthi (mentor for Debian Packaging idea), focus would be on [node dependencies](https://git.fosscommunity.in/debian-ruby/TaskTracker/-/issues/175) for GitLab. I plan to learn nitty-gritty of Debian packaging (which I had started earlier and have some knowledge about). And then help with various packages.

### Benefits to Community
|
|
|
|
|
|
Having an updated, secure GitLab package in Debian, which abide by [DFSG](http://www.debian.org/social_contract.html#guidelines), is mostly free software would benefit everyone. I would help keeping it that way.
