Do I need to keep local gems installed if Redmine has what it needs in a bundle?

Added by Deoren Moor almost 12 years ago

I recently upgraded two installations of Redmine to version 2.0.3 and the bundled gems are up to date. However, the local gems to the system are not. I'd like to remove those gems since I'm running no other Ruby (web) apps on the system in an effort to prevent outdated/vulnerable gems laying around on the system.

The other option I guess would be to run gem update on occasion when applying a Redmine upgrade.

Thoughts?

P.S.

I guess one answer is that I need to keep the bundle Ruby gem and any dependencies it has installed and of a valid version, but I'm referring to gems aside from that.
