#71113: gitlab portgroup does not support release downloads
------------------------+--------------------

Priority: Normal | Milestone:
Component: ports | Version:
Keywords: | Port: gitlab
------------------------+--------------------
The github portgroup on which the gitlab portgroup was based supports
setting `github.tarball_from releases` to download a release tarball; the
gitlab portgroup does not offer this.
Perhaps one reason why is that the gitlab portgroup uses `use_bzip2 yes`
in `gitlab.setup`. Because `use_bzip2` [ticket:64960 cannot be undone],
ports using this portgroup can only download .tar.bz2 files. That's quite
inconvenient if one wants to download a .tar.xz or .tar.gz release file.
