I am one of the embedded systems guys; compiling on my low-end ARM system is not much fun -- especially large projects like OCaml itself. |
This is a long-standing feature wish that we have plans for, see https://github.com/ocaml/opam/wiki/Roadmap |
This is linked to #629 |
We now have tracking of installed files, so this could be used to extract binary packages (at least for packages that only do additions, which should be almost all of them) |

I'd also like this feature but for a different reason: as a sysadmin
I like software to install fast and possibly on many hosts at the same time.
