ruby-ox binary package in Ubuntu Lunar ppc64el

 Optimized XML (Ox), as the name implies, was written to provide speed
 optimized XML handling. It was designed to be an alternative to Nokogiri
 and other Ruby XML parsers for generic XML parsing and as an alternative
 to Marshal for Object serialization.
 .
 Ox handles XML documents in three ways: it is a generic XML parser and
 writer, a fast Object / XML marshaller, and a stream SAX parser. The
 library is implemented in C for speed and has a lean, simple Ruby API.
