It doesn't look ready.


%global pgmajorversion 9

should be

%global pgmajorversion 94

i.e. the full PostgreSQL major version in short form.


It should make sure to install the extension into the correct
/usr/pgsql-9.4/lib, /usr/pgsql-9.4/share/extension, etc, probably with
appropriate %files macros .


The %description should be about what the package does, not why it
exists. That material can go in a /usr/share/doc/%{name}/README.rpm-dist
if it's RPM-specific, or just in the regular README.


The package makes no attempt to set PATH or an explicit pg_config
location, so it might not build against the correct PostgreSQL if more
than one is installed.


Ideally the requires should be arch-qualified, e.g.

BuildRequires:  postgresql%{pgmajorversion}-devel%{_?isa}
Requires:       postgresql%{pgmajorversion}%{_?isa}
