I just figured that my redmine install ceased to work. I figured, that emerge -uDav world updated redmine, so I ran emerge --config =www-apps/redmine-2.3.2 This failed, with the following error: Configuring pkg... * * Upgrading database. * * Migrating database. rake aborted! Could not find 'rdoc' (~> 3.4) - did find: [rdoc-4.0.1] /var/lib/redmine/config/application.rb:3:in `<top (required)>' /var/lib/redmine/Rakefile:5:in `<top (required)>' (See full trace by running task with --trace) I figured that 3.4 is not in portage anymore, which seems problematic.

Okay, just an update. The install phase doesn't hang, its just painfully slow for some reason. This used to take a few seconds, where now it took several minutes. But it completed in the end. The rdoc problem still persists though
Sorry, but I have to raise the importance of this issue to high, as redmine is not functional at all right now because of a dependency issue and I have the impression, most installations are likely affected. The issue is that indirectly, redmine depends on dev-ruby/json. The latest stable is since shortly 1.8.0, which pulls in ruby-2.0. I don't have ruby-20 in my make.conf, yet it is enabled. By pulling in ruby-2, rdoc-4 is pulled in which redmine seems incompatible with. As a result, redmine fails to function. A possible solution would be enabling ruby-2 support. According to the wiki, redmine 2.3 is compatible with ruby 2, and passenger itself should be as well (even though its not exposed in the ebuilds).
I reported this already (bug #484376), but agreed on the priority.
fixed in bug #484376.
