It would take a bit of refactoring, but there is code in the Rakefile that might be useful. On my ubuntu machine, I need to prefix gem install commands with `sudo` and having `rake udpate` iterate through the gemfiles and prompting me many times grew old fast so I added a check to see if Bundler.bundle_path.writable? and if not I would build a single gemfile that collected up all the dependencies. Having a 'rake gem:clean' or equivalent task that would do this followed immediately by an update might be useful. The update is required as there are rare cases where different apps use different gems (until recently, active_support required an old version of tzinfo, for example). Of course, all this will be cleaned up when infra supports Ubuntu 22.04 and we move to whimsy-vm7. - Sam Ruby
