I'm very pleased to announce that Distribution packaging is now fully supported on Drupal.org. I hope this will enable many Drupal distributions that were previously hosted off-site (due to the restrictions and limitations in packaging) to move back home onto Drupal.org, and allow new distributions to develop and flourish. @3281d has been busy making all this happen, and now that it's deployed, we'd love to thank our generous sponsors:

More more information about what changed and what that means if you maintain a distribution on Drupal.org (or would like to!) can be found at the Distribution packaging is now fully supported on Drupal.org news post.

Thanks!
