I have some test gems. There is a dependent gem [1] which depends on another dependency gem. The dependency gem has two platforms, one default ruby [2], and one with a platform of 'mswin32' [3].
When I install the dependent gem [1], it selects the ruby platform dependency [2] instead of the mswin specific platform dependency [3]. Is this the desired behavior? I sort of thought that a binary platform gem should be preferred over a plain-ruby platform, if it exists. Don't some multi-platform gems sometimes require compilation of a 'ruby' platform, but also offer a precompiled binary as well?
