# 1 repository
Where does the code live? One entry registers one repository.
Each distro is its own registry file. Register once per distro you support.
The entry's key in the registry: lowercase letters, digits, _ or
-. Suggested from the URL; it never has to match a package name.
# 2 ref
Which state of the repository should Autoware validate? One ref per entry: every registered package is built and tested at it, in lockstep.
# 3 packages
Which ROS packages are you registering? Each name must equal a real
package.xml <name> at the ref above; the sweep resolves
every one with colcon list and fails loudly when a name is absent.
# 4 maintainers
Who can a reviewer talk to about this repository? At least one real person; CI rejects
TBD and @example.com placeholders.
