GemPackageTask packages your pure ruby (Gem::Platform::RUBY) gem, but
not binaries.

Or are you just focused on putting together binary gems - in which case Ruby
gems offers no help at all?  In that case, then I agree with you.


Yep, binary gems, not only for Windows but also some users with locked
down environments that has no compiler in their servers.

ExtensionTask put together the tasks for you to compile the extension
in a standard way. The idea is you supply your pure-ruby gemspec to it
and inject into all the binaries and adjust the proper platform for
you.

So when "rake native gem" is executed, both pure-ruby and native of
your platform gems get generated.

Sorry I didn't express clearly my goal in the first email.

Nah, probably me just being dense.
