2018-11-29: 11.5.2 - exception request for gitlab-org/gitlab-ce!23314

Exception request

Why it needs to be picked

This is an ongoing issue with GitLab.com that has been around for roughly 2 weeks.

There does not exist a workaround. End users are forced to retry until potential success.

Potential negative impact of picking

/cc @brodock I'm unsure of how to best answer the below questions:

(Explain what could go wrong with the release if the MR is picked.) (Include a description of the worst case scenario in case something breaks.) (Include an estimate of the potential number of users affected by any negative impact.) (Explain the steps you took to minimize the risk.)

Release manager sign-off

A release manager (not a trainee) needs to provide initial approval for this exception request.

  • Release manager

Mention others as necessary during discussion.

Sign-off for patch release

Upon initial approval, the release manager will then ping and assign one more role for final approval:

  • One of:
    • Engineering Manager
    • Director of Engineering department
    • Engineering Manager, Quality
    • VPE

After approval

Check that the following is accurate before closing this issue:
