Details

Description:

gitlab-gitaly is one major version behind the other gitlab packages:

```
$ pacman -Q | grep gitlab
gitlab 15.0.1-1
gitlab-gitaly 14.4.5-2
gitlab-runner 15.0.0-1
gitlab-shell 3:14.7.1-1
gitlab-workhorse 8.65.0-1
```

So after upgrading the system and restart the gitlab services, any client-side git interactions such as pull/push are broken:

```
$ git pull
rpc error: code = Unimplemented desc = unknown method SSHUploadPackWithSidechannel for service gitaly.SSHService
```

`SSHUploadPackWithSidechannel` has been implemented on Gitlab 15: https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitaly/-/issues/4042

So gitlab-gitaly being one major version behind means that the backend does a request to a method that it expects to be there, but it's not.

Please upgrade gitlab-gitaly ASAP. It's been flagged as out of date more than two months ago. Gitlab installations WILL BE BROKEN until this package is upgraded - and I'm surprised that nobody bothered to check this before bumping the gitlab version to version 15.
This task depends upon

I have managed to temporarily fix the issue by:

- Downgrading gitlab to 14.10.2-1
- Downgrading gitlab-shell to 13.25.1-1
- Downgrading gitlab-runner to 14.10.0-1 (optional, I guess)

It's the newer version of gitlab-shell that performs the SSHUploadPackWithSidechannel gRPC call (the new default when it comes to SSH functions), and that method is not available on gitlab-gitaly because it's been implemented in a later version.

Please update the package, or at least update the Gitlab wiki to mention that gitlab and gitlab-shell should probably be added to `IgnorePkg` until gitlab-gitaly gets updated.

I managed to build gitlab-gitaly-15.0.2-1 with this updated PKGBUILD and ruby27.patch. So far it seems to work fine with gitlab-15.0.1-1
   PKGBUILD.patch (1.5 KiB)
   ruby27.patch (5 KiB)

Thank you for your contributions, confirming lahwaacz's patches working on my installation as well so far!

I was trying to move gitaly to the latest version and found that it depends on system libgit2. The problem is that gitaly uses a legacy version of libgit2 while Arch moved to the latest stable release already.

One way to resolve the issue is to introduce a legacy version of libgit2
Another way is to make libgit2 embeddable to gitaly and avoid hard version dependencies to systems' libgit2. Here is the upstream ticket https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitaly/-/issues/4219

I'll check Jakub's patches and try to bring gitaly to 15.0.2
Comment by Anatol Pomozov (anatolik) - Wednesday, 08 June 2022, 17:40 GMT
With 15.0.2 release my build does not fail due to outdated libgit2. I see that libgit2 is downloaded and built as an embedded library.

I pushed 15.0.2 with Jakub's changes to the testing repo. Please try it and let me know if you see any issues.

I can confirm that the latest version seems to work fine - or at least, I can pull/push over SSH without issues.
