- Installed gems are now divided into different directories. Gems

gems installed by root goes to /usr/local/ directory, while the
gems installed by RPM will go into /usr directory.
I don't this behavior is right. If gems installed by regular users
goes into under their home
directory, so should be on root because root is one of the users and
we should prevent root's
installing gems under root's home directory.
I don't quite understand what you are saying - in one sentence you
say that
we should install gems in root home because root is just another user
and
then you say that we should prevent it. Personally, I think the Vit's
proposed
behaviour is right, as root is not (should not) be used for
development/running
applications and therefore there is no need for gem directory in his
home.
At the same time, root should be able to install non-rpm gems if he
wants to
make their new/unpackaged versions available system-wide.
Note this: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=513048#c9
CVE-2007-0469, still open)
(Although I left some comment that I don't agree on that bug) security
responsible
team complains about _default_ behavior of installing system-wide even
with root.
(Again although I left some comments that I don't agree with this) I
think
changing _default_ behavior between root and normal users just introduces
unneeded confusion.
Let me rephrase what I said:
"If you are logged in as a root, and do "# gem install foo", the gem is
going to be installed into the /usr/local directory"
That means it does not conflict with any gems installed by RPM nor with
any other stuff installed by RPM.
