Hello, it is not that common to provide binaries with go packages. Do you have any issue with using go get github.com/MaximeD/gost? If so tell me which platform and arch you need, and I will consider adding some binaries

I've seen many go projects with binaries. Especially for command line tools and applications. go get is used a lot for libraries.
I can of course go get and go build myself but if you want software that is easily distributed then it's very easy to use travis to compile and upload binaries to github releases on tags. Binaries make it much easier to provision our dev machines with gost. It's very common to build *.deb, *.rpm and *.dmg files (or provide installation with homebrew) for distribution. It's also pretty easy to create those using fpm and fpm-cookery. It depends on how far are you willing to go.
I see that you don't have a build anyway here. If it's too much trouble, then forget about it. I can probably build it myself and host it somewhere. I can't promise a PR on this one soon since I've got my hands full already.

Binaries are now provided with releases, accessible from releases page (all my apologies for the time it took though...).
