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? rday _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Do not reply to spam on the list, report it: https://pagure.io/fedora-infrastructure
