possibly off-topic as it likely applies to other linux distros, but
i'm diving into ruby and i'm well aware that if i install, say,
vagrant, it comes with a pile of rubygem dependencies:
Installing:
vagrant noarch 2.2.9-3.fc33 fedora 572 k
Installing dependencies:
bsdtar x86_64 3.5.1-1.fc33 updates 65 k
rubygem-childprocess noarch 1.0.1-6.fc33 fedora 60 k
rubygem-domain_name noarch 0.5.20190701-3.fc33 fedora 53 k
rubygem-erubis noarch 2.7.0-23.fc33 fedora 39 k
rubygem-ffi x86_64 1.12.1-3.fc33 fedora 106 k
rubygem-fog-libvirt noarch 0.7.0-3.fc33 fedora 33 k
... etc etc ...
fair enough, but is there any effect from personally installing any
of those ruby gems using "gem install"? if i install ruby gems as a
regular user, they get planted under ~/.gem/..., but i assume those
are not taken into account when i'm installing vagrant.
on the other hand, if i install (as root) a gem using "gem install"
under /usr/share/gems, will the install process take that into
account?
