colcon-core Debian packages for non-core extensions

I'd like to package colcon-cargo as a Debian package like the rest of the colcon extenions, however I can't seem to find what the process is. Is it like any other bloom package or does it require any additional steps? Thanks.

Is it like any other bloom package...?

These packages are not released using bloom. As I understand it, a stdeb.cfg file is curated in each repository and the debian packages are built locally and distributed through packagecloud: https://packagecloud.io/dirk-thomas/colcon

I believe that only @dirk-thomas has the power to grant users the ability to distribute packages from there.

@esteve Instructions for making (Debian package) releases can be found in the colcon documentation: https://colcon.readthedocs.io/en/released/developer/release.html

I am happy to add anyone, who wants to maintain a colcon package and make releases, as a contributor to the packagecloud repo. In the past only christophebedard and Briancbn have reached out to me and been added as contributors. Their permission is not specific to a package but each of them maintains a single colcon extension they have developed.
