[Fedora-packaging] why gem install always use the --force option?

[Athenas Jimenez]

Hello,

This is basically my question, why ruby gems packages always use --force
option during installation?

(from http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/ruby.git/tree/macros.rubygems)

gem install \\\
        -V \\\
        --local \\\
        --install-dir %{-d*}%{!?-d:.%{gem_dir}} \\\
        --bindir .%{_bindir} \\\
        *--force \\\*
        --document=ri,rdoc \\\
        %{-n*}%{!?-n:%{gem_name}-%{version}.gem} \
%{nil}



Thanks for your help

Athenas
