And that takes us one step closer to PGXN's META.json file. Here's the spec:

http://pgxn.org/meta/spec.txt

It includes a "prereqs" section, which looks like this:

"prereqs": {
"runtime": {
"requires": {
"citext": 0,
"plpgsql": 0,
"PostgreSQL": "8.0.0"
},
"recommends": {
"PostgreSQL": "8.4.0"
}
}
},

Best,
