Hi, tl;dr: naming stuff is hard, we're hoping to rename the puppet-server git repo to puppetserver sometime soon (tomorrow?). Github should handle redirects in a way that will hopefully mean that this change is effectively invisible to anyone who has a fork, but if anyone has any concerns, please yell.
long form: When we were first coming up with a name for puppet server, we all wanted to call it "puppet-server", but the problem with that was that on some linux distros there was already a package by that name. We decided that that wasn't a good reason not to choose the name that everyone thought was best, so we decided to name the new packages 'puppetserver' without the hyphen. Our intention was to go back and add the hyphen back in to the package names once we'd reached a point in time where we no longer had to worry about conflict with the old package. At some point in time we collectively realized that that was stupid, and that the package name is basically part of our API to end users, who may have modules they've written to manage their infrastructure and have lots of references to the package/service names "puppetserver" with no hyphens. However, the inconsistency is still stupid and annoying. So, we decided instead that we'll just change the github repo name to remove the hyphen and then we can have everything standardized on "puppetserver". We've been waiting for a time to do this where it was unlikely to cause any issues that would affect a release. Now seems like a good time, since we just shipped Burnside. So, I'm planning on changing the repo name this afternoon or tomorrow morning. I'll also submit a PR against CI job configs to hopefully fix all of the references there (though I think that because of the way that github redirects renamed repos, things would probably just work anyway).
