 As for security/ruby-digest, it originate from FreeBSD's ports which
 was base of current Ruby packages and external dependency is message
 digest libraries.  On Linux, ruby-digest might depend on OpenSSL's
 library (but current ruby-digest dosen't care for it).
 
 Anyway, I'm willing to merge ruby-digest pacakge to ruby${RUBY_VER}
 package.
