I'm trying to install GitLab 7.0 on RHEL 7 (using the CentOS omnibus package), but the installation keeps failing at the step below. Any suggestions as to how to get the installation to complete successfully?

You need to contact the gitlab developers and obtain an updated package which is compatible with EL7. This is failing because it can't find various bits of upstart which is only present in EL6.
