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

From the help:
$ gem help install
-f, --[no-]force Force gem to install, bypassing dependency checks
I.e. "gem install" would try to install also gem's dependencies (which are not available, since we are offline during build), while the "--force" option installs just the gem itself. The dependecies have to be satisfied by BuildRequires instead.
