+# OpenTelemetry Collector distributions by jpkrohling
+
+This repository has a personal collection of OpenTelemetry Collector distributions curated by [@jpkrohling](https://github.com/jpkrohling).
+
+At every new version of the Collector, distributions are updated and published.
+
+## Adding a new distribution
+
+To add a new distribution to this repository:
+
+1) create a directory under `distributions` and place the `manifest.yaml` there
+2) add `./github/workflows/ci-<distribution>.yaml` and `./github/workflows/release-<distribution>.yaml` files based on one of the existing distributions
+
+You can test your new distribution with:
+
+```console
+./test/test.sh -d YOUR_DISTRIBUTION
+```
+
+Or, to run everything the CI would run:
+
+```console
+make ci
+```

+# Tests
+
+The tests are a bunch of shell scripts that, for each distribution:
+
+- prepare the environment, such as installing tools like `tracegen`
+- start the distribution
+- create a data point (a trace, for now)
+- check whether the data point was received
+- stop the distribution
+
+In the future, we might add more scenarios to the tests.
+
+In the output, pay attention to the general outcome of each distribution's test. While you might see warnings or errors in the logs, they are not indicative of a failure. If you see a "PASS: sidecar", it means that the tests (eventually) passed. If you do NOT see this, check the logs for clues.
