I wonder how much time would be saved globally if Nokogiri shipped precompiled binaries for Mac and Linux and not just Windows.

Wish there was some kind of org that could do stuff like this in a sustainable way. Companies pay a tiny bit and everyone gets the benefits.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean. This is doable with a travis config

Yeah? I didn’t know. Do other gems build and ship binaries built from Travis? I was speaking about this in the more broad sense. Greater than just this issue.

I've been experimenting with this for fast_woothee. The main issue I have found is Rubygems does not specifically support this use case so you end up having to sync .so files with Github

Rubygems absolutely supports this use case.

You can upload platform specific binaries???

Yes. Nokogiri already does on Windows since Windows users don't frequently have a C compiler installed
