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

 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.
