* I was a newbie once

[Martin Alfke]

Hi Joaquin,

many thanks for also thinking on newbies.

Some notes from my side:

- Don't use puppet module generate, use PDK to create new modules, classes and defines.
- Stop using ERB templates, switch to EPP

Best,
Martin

I will likely apply these.  I wish there was a minimalist PDK way to generate module.  What is generated is everything under the sun, where personally I'm not intimidated, but for new users...

Well, let's say I'm trying to invite into Puppet Nirvana, not kill them at the Gates. ;-)

Martin, Red Hat Satellite (even version with 3.8.6) doesn't support EPP templates.

Satellite 6.3 has the option for Puppet 4, but I do not yet know the exact version.

You may have better luck after an upgrade.

 You can use custom templates with PDK (--template-url), you could mention that in your guide...
