Hello,

> rails has 58 gem port dependencies.  Its possible you'd need 59 new
> ports (though unlikely).  I suspect about 27 are likely to be incompatible.

As this seems a major problem (not only for Gitlab) i created a port for 
rails 4.1:
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=201828

At least "just" 16 Ports where needed.

> I would definitely prefer option #2.

I prefer it too, but i have no time to a) fix the bugs and b) get the 
upstream to merge them.

With a look at the already used interval for this support Gitlab needed 
(without succeeding) it will be much easier to go this route. And we can 
use it for other gems to.

Also the upstream is not happy with the support of rails 4.1 and 4.2 and 
sticks to one version until everything is ported. This could take a while.

As for the gitlab port: i've updated it to the new version 7.13.0.

Next step is to fix dependencies, which uses rails 4.1. ;)

Greetings,
Torsten
