Anyone know why the date listed for a gem listed on rubygems.org wouldn't match the contents of the gem? I am guessing possible timezone differences. But some clarification would be nice.

For example:

  Listed for bundler -v 1.11.2 - December 16, 2015 (257 KB)

  $ tar tvf bundler-1.11.2.gem 
  -r--r--r--  0 wheel  wheel    2161 Dec 15 19:12 metadata.gz
  -r--r--r--  0 wheel  wheel  257198 Dec 15 19:12 data.tar.gz
  -r--r--r--  0 wheel  wheel     267 Dec 15 19:12 checksums.yaml.gz

I've also noticed that there are gems listed on rubygems.org that have dates in the past relative to the gem contents.

Nevermind - its the date in the gem spec
