Even if I want to, I'm not able to support gitlab in unstable or experimental. That is the reason why I had to create fasttrack.debian.net

Gitlab changes too fast for unstable or experimental.

In this specific case multiple upstream gems needs to updated to work with omniauth 2.0. There are upstream bugs filed already. I can't step in as upstream maintainers of all those gems. More help is always welcome.
 
>I does not work either if you bstarted from a testing ISO. 

Yes, only stable is currently supported. More volunteers to support testing, unstable or experimental welcome.

Even outside gitlab, only stable is officially supported, unstable remains broken for many days during transitions.

>Been ther done that. No way to make it work. FIX your package dependency. Its broken for as long as 1.9.1-1 has been in unstable meaning April 2020 see https://tracker.debian.org/pkg/ruby-omniauth 

I meant follow the recommended option, that is bullseye-fasttrack.

I'm not able to do this alone, even if I want to, this is too much work for a single maintainer. At this point only bullseye-fasttrack I can reasonably support.

I know. Because some newer dependencies (protobuf and others) is only available in experimental.
