Contributor guide
Research direction
Read the handbook section on adding a new distribution, then inspect scripts-dev/build_debian_packages.py lines 29-36. Update the supported distribution list and review the example change in pkg-repo-configs; done means both repositories support Ubuntu 26.10 package builds.
