Everything is available openly from Github, so I don't think you are going to face problems.  
Have you seen any errors during building?

Oh, indeed. The generators assume that you would push your code to Github. This needs to be configurable, so the import paths are generated correctly. Do you mind opening a Github issue and request to support gitlab or custom hosting service? [https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/new](https://github.com/elastic/beats/issues/new)

What errors are you getting during packaging?

`make package` has just been refactored a few weeks ago. It's possible that it has a few problems as it haven't been used much outside. Please share the error if you can. It would help us a lot.
