Dear friends,
An user had, in 2016, installed a gitlab (8.x, don't recall x anymore) version that was the latest at the time using the EL7 RPM. However, the upgrade to Fedora 28 has stopped this from working. We tried upgrading gitlab using step by step the 8.x+ version but it is unable to update and unusable.
Any suggestions as to what we should be looking at and how to fix this. I guess the hope is to have a functional gitlab on the Fedora 28 system.
Feel free to ask for more information: I am not sure what to provide.
Many thanks, Ranjan

I am sorry I do not understand what this means. Could you please elaborate?
Many thanks, Ranjan

Not surprising since the latest version on their page is 10.8.

There is nothing in the fedora repositories, so it has to be done using the gitlab tools.
I just had a look at this page https://about.gitlab.com/installation/ I see there installation instructions for both centos7 and a docker image. I think in F28 it is possible to install the docker image (a self contained gitlab instance?). But it should also be possible to use the centos7 image. I haven't tried either, so could be wrong, and there will probably be some tweaking required for the centos7 procedure.

Yes, but it also says that updates have to be incremental and which is what that is what we were trying out first.

I was trying the centos rpm. I wonder why there is no source rpm. Perhaps I should look around for that in order to see if it can be modified for Fedora.
There is some talk of a copr repo for Fedora 26 but I can not tell what, if anything, is in there that is useful. It is not clear to me at all!

1) Build an srpm using "into_srpm.sh" which can be pulled in with
git clone https://git.centos.org/git/centos-git-common.git
2) Download an srpm from
