What are the requirements to submit a collection of distro build scripts to the TDE packaging system?
Once the scripts are part of the packaging system, will prebuilt packages then be available to anybody for downloading and installing?
Thanks.

There are two steps: 1. provide and maintain the required scripts for building TDE in a distro 2. building the packages
For 1., the requirement is to create scripts that follow the distro way of creating packages. For 2., we need someone to actually take care of building the packages for each release. For example .deb packages are created by Slavek, .rpm by Francois.
There is no limitation if you want to add support for a new distro, the only requirement is the will to maintain them, at least for a while.
