PGXN makes no effort to support installation on any platform at all. Happy to work with anyone who wants to add binary
distribution,but supporting multiple platforms might be a PITA. Maybe there’d be a way to integrate with the RPM and
.deband Windows repos (is there something like that for Windows?).

Yep.
