Add PDK to development (new section?) #14

Closed bittner closed 6 years ago

bittner commented 6 years ago

Puppet Development Toolkit (PDK) is only available via manual download and installation.

Proposed Solution

A Puppet-based installation would look like this:

  archive { 'pdk.deb':
    source  => 'https://pm.puppetlabs.com/cgi-bin/pdk_download.cgi?dist=ubuntu&rel=16.04&arch=amd64&ver=latest',
    path    => '/tmp/pdk.deb',
    extract => false,
    cleanup => false,
  }

  package { 'pdk':
    ensure   => present,  # latest? (to make sure dpkg upgrades an installed package)
    source   => '/tmp/pdk.deb',
    provider => 'dpkg',
  }

Maybe Reconsider vcsscm

It may be worth reconsidering the modules structure for vcsscm (try to understand whether moving that under a development category would be clearer).

@edestecd Any comment on this?

Would this be valuable as a temporary solution as long as there are no official repositories for unattended installation? Or should we close this issue?

I think we should add it if you have time. I think it should go here: https://github.com/edestecd/puppet-software/tree/master/manifests/idesdk

Since its an sdk or dev environment

PDK is now available via package sources for both yum and apt. See the PuppetLabs issue tracker for explanations, the setup instructions for details.
