Hi, I'd like to upload gitlab 10.6 to stretch-backports as backporting security fixes is becoming difficult. My original idea was also providing updates via backports, but gitlab switching to nodejs for front end in gitlab 9 made that impossible.
Now with all nodejs modules stuck in NEW for about 5-7 months, I'm focusing on gitlab in contrib with nodejs modules installed via npm/yarn. To get this moving, I have backported all required ruby gems and they are available here https://people.debian.org/~praveen/gitlab/ Since npm is not in stretch, I hope to upload npm 1.4 to stretch-backports now and update it when 5.8 is available (which should be soon). Now one of the node modules punycode@2.1.0 needs nodejs >= 6. So I'm trying to rebuild nodejs for stretch. With help from Jeremy on IRC I was able to skip nghttp2 support but got stuck with openssl issue. nodejs supports only openssl 1.1.0g and stretch only has 1.1.0f. So I tried to build nodejs 6.12 and that worked. Please suggest/help in proceeding further. 1. Can I just proceed with nodejs 6.12? (stretch-backports-6 branch on salsa) 2. I need help with building nodejs 8.11 on stretch. (stretch-backports branch on salsa)
