Users of those distros, that need to test TSN, will be interested in having it packaged rather than having it to compile first. Just make it available, point to it in tests etc. and it should get packaged. > And isochron itself needs to become more stable by gathering more users, > being integrated in scripts such as selftests, catering to more varied > requirements. > So it's a bit of a chicken and egg situation. If it is completely experimental then it could be added to, say, Debian's experimental distribution so user's of unstable/sid can install it fairly easy but it won't become part of the upcoming stable release (the relevant freeze is currently set to 2023-02).
