Validator
performs various gem file and gem database validation
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.

Given a gem file's contents, validates against its own MD5 checksum
Contents of the gem file
# File 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
Given the path to a gem file, validates against its own MD5 checksum
Path to gem file
