I am using 'Additional Development' group.

leekiangiap,
Thanks for letting me know. Changed

Hi,

I am newbie learning linux. Wish to know why the stage2.sh command to run ./configure need to use --enable-shared and --enable-pthread ?

Thanks !

Just to share some findings

I study the ./configure --help
--enable-pthread is obsolete and ignored

The main advantage in using --enable-shared is that the executables can then share the code, thus decreasing memory and disk space requirements.

leekiangiap,
thanks for noticing. I just found --enable-pthread makes performance issue and I actually don't need to use it.

Hi,

Thanks for your kindness of providing this installation script.

Installing gitolite package from the EPEL by default created a user named "gitolite", do we still need to create the user named "git" ? what is the difference of having and not having it ?

I've updated it a little bit and added a few missing things. It can be found at http://dlaxar.blogspot.co.at/2012/06/installing-gitlab-with-gitolite-on.html
