The upstream recommended minimum length for db_key_base is 30 bytes,
which our option descriptions repeated. Recently, however, upstream
has, in many places, moved to using aes-256-gcm, which requires a key
of exactly 32 bytes. To allow for shorter keys, the upstream code pads
the key in some places. However, in many others, it just truncates the
key if it's too long, leaving it too short if it was to begin
with. This adds a patch that fixes this and updates the descriptions
to recommend a key of at least 32 characters.

Hydra fails to build the assets on i686 - it runs out of memory. If we
limit the max consumption to 2048MB the assets still build, and will
hopefully also build on hydra.
On start, unicorn, sidekiq and other parts running ruby code emits
quite a few warnings similar to
/var/gitlab/state/config/application.rb:202: warning: already initialized constant Gitlab::Application::LOOSE_EE_APP_ASSETS
/nix/store/ysb0lgbzxp7a9y4yl8d4f9wrrzy9kafc-gitlab-ee-12.3.5/share/gitlab/config/application.rb:202: warning: previous definition of LOOSE_EE_APP_ASSETS was here
/var/gitlab/state/lib/gitlab.rb:38: warning: already initialized constant Gitlab::COM_URL
/nix/store/ysb0lgbzxp7a9y4yl8d4f9wrrzy9kafc-gitlab-ee-12.3.5/share/gitlab/lib/gitlab.rb:38: warning: previous definition of COM_URL was here
This seems to be caused by the same ruby files being evaluated
multiple times due to the paths being different - sometimes they're
loaded using the direct path and sometimes through a symlink, due to
our split between config and package data. To fix this, we make sure
that the offending files in the state directory always reference the
store path, regardless of that being the real file or a symlink.
GitLab recently restructured their repos; whereas previously they had
one gitlab-ce and one gitlab-ee repo, they're now one and the
same. All proprietary components are put into the ee subdirectory -
removing it gives us the foss / community version of GitLab. For more
info, see
https://about.gitlab.com/2019/02/21/merging-ce-and-ee-codebases/
This gives us the opportunity to simplify things quite a bit, since we
don't have to keep track of two separate versions of either the base
data or rubyEnv.
Instead of extracting prebuilt assets from the debian build, build
them from the source. This should give faster package updates and
reduces the amount of data needed to be downloaded by more than 500MB.
- Update GitLab to 12.3.4
- Update update.py to cope with the new upstream repository structure
- Refactor gitlab-shell to use buildGoPackage and bundlerEnv for
dependencies
- Refactor gitlab-workhorse to use buildGoPackage for dependencies
- Make update.py able to update gitlab-shell and gitlab-workhorse
dependencies
- Various fixes necessary for update to work
This is a major version bump but things were generally straightforward
save two wrinkles:
* it is necessary to ignore collisions in the gitlab bundler
environment as both `omniauth_oauth2_generic` and
`apollo_upload_server` provide a `console` executable.
* grpc had to be patched since its build system expects the `AR`
environment variable to contain not just the path to `ar` but
also the `rpc` flags (see the discussion in nixpkgs #63056).
SSRF in Kubernetes integration
The GitLab Kubernetes integration was vulnerable to a SSRF issue which could allow an attacker to make requests to access any internal URLs. The issue is now mitigated in the latest release and is assigned CVE-2018-18843.
