Checks the gem directory for the following potential inconsistencies/problems:

Checksum gem itself
For each file in each gem, check consistency of installed versions
Check for files that aren't part of the gem but are in the gems directory
1 cache - 1 spec - 1 directory.

returns a hash of ErrorData objects, keyed on the problem gem's name.

verify_gem(gem_data) click to toggle source

Given a gem file's contents, validates against its own MD5 checksum

gem_data

String: Contents of the gem file

# File lib/rubygems/validator.rb, line 26
def verify_gem(gem_data)
  # TODO remove me? The code here only validate an MD5SUM that was
  # in some old formatted gems, but hasn't been for a long time.
end

verify_gem_file(gem_path) click to toggle source

Given the path to a gem file, validates against its own MD5 checksum

gem_path

String: Path to gem file

# File lib/rubygems/validator.rb, line 36
