Improve documentation about requried extensions #21

Open t-zuehlsdorff opened 3 months ago

Aloha,

i want to port your extension to the FreeBSD ports-tree so FreeBSD user can install the extension just by using the package manager.

When reading your documentation i spotted this part after creating the extension:

NOTICE:  installing required extension "columnar"
NOTICE:  installing required extension "pg_cron"
NOTICE:  installing required extension "pg_partman"

So i guess other extensions must already be installed to work?

Can you link them explicitly so i can port them too? pg_partman is already ported, but i can't find the columnar one.

Hi @t-zuehlsdorff, the dependencies are somewhat complicated. We will improve on the installation story over time, but in the short term I think following the dockerfile build should show you how these extensions are compiled and installed, including columnar.
