    Description

      Occasionally an addon will require the installation of an additional PHP extension or have version requirements. Currently, we have the maintainer manually marking PHP version in Moodle Plugins; however, I would like to see an additional option where a maintainer could provide an environment.xml file that lists any additional requirements beyond that particular version of Moodle. For example, a plugin may take advantage of a later version of PHP than core does. This would protect sites from installing code for which the environment does not support it.
