+## Adding a new component
+
+1. Add a new `Step` to `dist.rs`. This should usually be named after the filename of the uploaded tarball. See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/101799/files#diff-2c56335faa24486df09ba392d8900c57e2fac4633e1f7038469bcf9ed3feb871 for an example.
+ a. If appropriate, call `tarball.is_preview(true)` for the component.
+2. Add a new `PkgType` to build-manifest. Fix all the compile errors as appropriate.
