I've discussed the name a bit on different channels today and the folks in the ruby team told me that calling it "ruby-pdk" would be a mistake since it's not a library but rather a binary. Also, just calling the package "pdk" seems to be too confusing since it sounds very generic. So for now the consensus seems to point towards naming this package "puppet-development-kit" instead in order to make it obvious what it is and easy to find. > Version : 1.13.0 > Upstream Author : Puppet, Inc. > * URL : https://github.com/puppetlabs/pdk > * License : Apache License 2.0 > Programming Lang: Ruby > Description : A CLI to facilitate easy, unified development workflows > for Puppet modules > > The Puppet Development Kit (PDK) includes key Puppet code development and > testing tools for Linux, Windows, and OS X workstations, so you can install > one package with the tools you need to create and validate new modules. > > PDK includes testing tools, a complete module skeleton, and command line tools > to help you create, validate, and run tests on Puppet modules.
