+
+    <body>
+      <p>After being in the &os; Ports Collection for three months,
+	GitLab continues to mature and gain adoption.  Most of its
+	starting problems have been resolved, with one known issue
+	left: it does not start on boot.  Any help in solving this
+	issue is welcome.</p>
+
+      <p>Staying in sync with upstream is now easy for minor versions.
+	But, some of the monthly major releases create a big workload
+	by introducing a number of new dependencies.  This makes
+	testing and updating an expensive process.</p>
+
+      <p>The GitLab project itself now mentions native support on
+	&os;, which is quite a commendation.</p>
+
+      <p>Current work aims to fix the open problems, get the latest
+	major version into the port, and create the documentation for
+	the update progress.</p>
