Support for gitlab about composer-changelogs

[pyrech]

Hi :)
Currently all the supported hosting services are detected within the source url of the package (mainly the domain of the service). So I don't see any way to detect that a package's url correspond to a self hosted gitlab instance. Is there a url structure that could uniquely detect a gitlab instance?

Hm, I guess not since it's up to the person setting the whole thing how they wanna name the domain. The repository path isn't unique either.

https://gitlab.company.org/project-name/repo-name

One could assume that everyone tends towards including gitlab in the domain name, but a better approach would be to make it configurable. Both ways would work in my case ;-)

Hi @kitzberger

Good news: I'm currently working on the feature :) But I don't have any instance of gitlab to play with. I see in Gitlab documentation that it supports releases but I cannot find anywhere what are the URLs of those release pages. For example, for Github, it's github.com/[user name]/[repository name]/releases/tag/[name of the release].

Same question about compare URLs. Does Gitlab support them? If yes, can they be across forks like Github or Bitbucket support them? What is their structure? FYI, on Github, it's github.com/[user name]/[repository name]/compare/[name of the version before update]...[name of the version after update]

That's great to hear ;-)

In our gitlab the URLs you're looking for are like this: https://gitlab.company.org/[project-name]/[repo-name]/tags/1.33.0

Comparing seems only to be working within one repository, not across forks: https://gitlab.company.org/[project-name]/[repo-name]/compare/master...feature%2Fdoes-something-different

Hope this info is useful to you. Let me know if I can be of any further assistance ;-)

I just created #37 to implement this feature 😉
