--- Comment #4 from Torsten Zühlsdorff <ports at toco-domains.de> ---
It's possible to install all rubygems only with the rubygem tool and completely
without pkg.

I've wrote about this topic with xmj at . I will quote him, because that's why i
do the things this way:

=== Start ===
GitLab comes with an unmanageable amount of dependencies, which (as per ruby@
policy) may not be installed via bundle, and have to be (or become, if not yet
available) ports themselves. Using ``bundle`` is taboo mostly because libraries
thus installed don't register with pkg, and can't be deinstalled properly using
that tool either.
=== End ===

For me this is very convincing. Also it comes with the advantage, that we can
provide binary-packages for pkg, which currently works.

The GitLab port itself would be great. More than 100.000 organizations uses
this software. And it is relatively hard to install and maintained. The
FreeBSD-Ports tree offers a very simple method for this (compared to others).
And it allows freedom. There are just a few gitlab-packages in other
distributions and most of them comes with a full software-stack you cannot
change. 
Even the possibility to change the software-stack is enough for my company to
sponsor some working-time at the project and considering the use of FreeBSD.
Normally the use Ubuntu and nothing else.
