Platform Development Kit 0.9.9 released
The 64 Studio Platform Development Kit (PDK) is a Free Software tool that we use to automate the production and maintenance of several different projects. PDK is a kind of version control system for distributions, allowing us to create and manage many different custom products based on Debian and Ubuntu sources.
PDK was originally part of Componentized Linux, a platform developed at Progeny Linux Systems for building custom GNU/Linux distributions. Following the closure of Progeny in 2007, we now maintain PDK, and make it available to the Free Software development community at http://trac.64studio.com/pdk/
You can now get the very latest version of PDK here:
http://apt.64studio.com/backports/pool/main/p/pdk/
including source tarballs, and .deb packages for Ubuntu Hardy and Jaunty.
PDK is written in Python, the source code is well commented and contains documented examples. It is released under the GNU GPL, version 2. If you are interested in PDK development, and would like write access to the PDK wiki or bug tickets, please contact us.
Thanks to Marco Túlio Gontijo e Silva and Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo of Holoscópio for their patches contributed to PDK. Holoscópio has created a graphical front-end to PDK called distro-creator, available from:
