Creates a new IPv6

which may be:
Yields each Tuple

True when the gem has been activated
The path to the data directory for this gem.
Platform of the gem
Delegates to @hash
Iterator over dependency_order
Construct an installer object for the gem file located at path
Factory method to create a Gem::Requirement
object. Input may be a Version, a String
, or nil. Intended to simplify client code.
If the input is “weird”, the default version requirement is returned.
Concatenates the new
requirements onto this requirement.
Factory method to create a Version

. Intended to simplify client code.
ver1 = Version.create('1.3.17') # -> (Version object) ver2 = Version.create(ver1) # -> (ver1) ver3 = Version.create(nil) # -> nil
Yields each source URI
in the list.
The platform this gem runs on.
This is usually Gem::Platform::RUBY or Gem::Platform::CURRENT.
Most gems contain pure Ruby code; they should simply leave the default value in place. Some gems contain C (or other) code to be compiled into a Ruby “extension”. The gem should leave the default value in place unless the code will only compile on a certain type of system. Some gems consist of pre-compiled code (“binary gems”). It’s especially important that they set the platform attribute appropriately. A shortcut is to set the platform to Gem::Platform::CURRENT, which will cause the gem builder to set the platform to the appropriate value for the system on which the build is being performed.
If this attribute is set to a non-default value, it will be included in the filename of the gem when it is built such as: nokogiri-1.6.0-x86-mingw32.gem
Usage:
spec.platform = Gem::Platform.local
Enumerate every known spec. See ::dirs=
and ::add_spec
to set the list of specs.
Return a list of all outdated local gem names. This method is HEAVY as it must go fetch specifications from the server.
Use outdated_and_latest_version
if you wish to retrieve the latest remote version as well.
Activate this spec, registering it as a loaded spec and adding it’s lib paths to $LOAD_PATH. Returns true if the spec was activated, false if it was previously activated. Freaks out if there are conflicts upon activation.
Abbreviate the spec for downloading. Abbreviated specs are only used for searching, downloading and related activities and do not need deployment specific information (e.g. list of files). So we abbreviate the spec, making it much smaller for quicker downloads.
The date this gem was created.
If SOURCE_DATE_EPOCH is set as an environment variable, use that to support reproducible builds; otherwise, default to the current UTC date.

DO NOT set this, it is set automatically when the gem is packaged.
