Platform Development Kit 0.9.6 released!

Isle of Wight, 3rd October 2008

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 (0.9.6) of PDK here:

http://apt.64studio.com/backports/pool/main/p/pdk/

including source tarballs, and .deb packages for Debian Lenny and Ubuntu 
Hardy.

The current version of PDK is made available in the APT repositories here:

deb http://apt.64studio.com/backports hardy-backports main

and here:

deb http://apt.64studio.com/backports lenny-backports main

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 via

"If you're not distributed, you're not worth using. It is that simple."

.. I'm just quoting (and kidding ;)

This is a project that is worth looking at strongly... If people are ever going to get out of the dark ages of recreating every Linux distro independently then this thing may prove important.
