Yes, this is true. We do this because normally ruby contains a copy of rdoc. We unbundle that and thus the external rdoc implementation is installed. You can control this with the rdoc USE flag on dev-lang/ruby, but note that not installing rdoc is probably considered broken by upstream. Kind regards, Hans
