Prerequisites

Required software

• GitLab 6.x
• python-gitlab (note due to certain bugs you should obtain my fork python-gitlab @ 6d6b270)
• GNU coreutils
• git 1.8.4

If you plan on mirroring SVN repositories as well then you'll need the following additional options.

• git-svn

Required software install snippets

python-gitlab

yum install python-setuptools
git clone https://github.com/sag47/python-gitlab.git
cd python-gitlab
git checkout 6d6b270e9829012b99d700eb1ca3802ef05f40b4
python setup.py

You can find the source to git at the git-core project. For instructions on other platforms see the Getting Started - Installing Git section of the git book.

yum install perl-ExtUtils-MakeMaker zlib zlib-devel openssh libcurl libcurl-devel expat expat-devel gettext gettext-devel
cd /usr/local/src/
git clone https://code.google.com/p/git-core/
cd git-core/
git tag
git checkout v1.8.4
make configure
./configure --prefix=/usr/local
make
make install

Your git should now be located in /usr/local/bin/git. You should edit /etc/profile and place /usr/local/bin at the beginning of your $PATH.
