Lightning Talk: Introducing Distrogen: A Tool for Generating OpenTelemetry Collecto...
summary
A tool that takes a simple distribution spec and generates OCB manifests, GoReleaser config, Dockerfiles and Makefiles so builds, images and releases are consistent and reproducible. It uses a component registry to map simple names to module URLs and stable OpenTelemetry versions, and installs matching Go and OCB versions during build. Registry supports local components, generated artifacts mirror upstream collector layout, and future work adds publishing automation and clearer version-declaration standards.
