How is it different from puppet-retrospec? > https://github.com/nwops/puppet-retrospec > The main problems the PDK attacks today are - *Complexity of setting up a development environment. *Especially ruby on windows is ... uncooperative. With the native packages you're up and running within seconds after you have downloaded them. Additionally, the current packages are built using the puppet 4 ruby (and future versions will *also* contain the puppet 5 ruby, supporting new releases as we go), which means you'll get high assurance, that your (native) code will run on the agent. - *The first 60 minutes of development.* With at least five different major module skeletons, and generators (puppet module generate, garethr/puppet-module-skeleton, voxpupuli's modulesync configs, puppetlabs' modulesync_config, example42), and a host of useful tools (linters, checkers, rspec-puppet, etc) newcomers to module development have to invest much to get to a fully-featured workflow. With the PDK, `pdk new module something` will get you going with the basic set today, without any further configuration necessary. - Based off the last point, *establishing a unified workflow*, and building a set of baseline recommendations. - *Focus and promotion of community efforts.* We really want to make sure that in the end as many folks as possible are using the broadest set of useful tools to improve their day-to-day work. The work you can see in v0.6, is only the first step on that road. Until then, at least there is `pdk bundle` so that all the tools that we currently do not support natively can still benefit from the pdk's runtime unchanged. Bundling ruby was a good idea and all the gems. > Thank you :-) Happy weekend, David > > > > Corey > > > On Tuesday, August 8, 2017 at 7:58:39 PM UTC-7, Lindsey Smith wrote: >> >> I am happy to announce the release of version 0.6.0 of the Puppet >> Development Kit (PDK) to the Puppet community.
