      During the development of the Ruby next-gen for Funtoo next, I needed to update some RubyGem's library dependencies and their source code lives on GNOME's GitLab instance.

      After doing a quick search in kit-fixups for all Python autogens that referenced gitlab.com I found these:

       

      git grep -i gitlab |grep -i py | grep gitlab.com | cut -d: -f1 | uniq | sort
core-kit/curated/app-emulation/libvirt-glib/autogen.py

python-modules-kit/curated/dev-python/autogen.yaml
python-modules-kit/curated/dev-python/templates/flake8-polyfill.tmpl

      This is a general improvement to track the development of adding a generic GitLab generator to support GitLab YAML autogens in the future.

      A fun discovery during my research: some GitLab projects have dedicated GitLab sub domains like GNOME. The YAML schema for the generator will need to support this behavior of GitLab projects.
