Issue #1761 has been updated by jamtur01. Status changed from Unreviewed to Needs more information
Okay I have a few issues here. I've read the threads on the mailing lists. I am still not clear on what to use here. Also the notes here indicate that neither is anyone else. Is it uname -v for both platforms? Or something else? Can/Should we distinguish between Solaris 10 and OpenSolaris (in this fact and the operatingsystem fact?)? And a patch would be nice. ---------------------------------------- Bug #1761: operatingsystemrelease fact should not rely on /etc/release on Solaris http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/show/1761 Author: andy Status: Needs more information Priority: Normal Assigned to: Category: library Target version: 1.5.3 Complexity: Trivial Keywords: solaris, opensolaris The format of /etc/release is not guaranteed to remain the same and should not be relied on. After introducing this in #1555 Facter broke on OpenSolaris: <pre> operatingsystemrelease.rb:79: private method `chomp' called for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError) </pre> On OpenSolaris this fact should be set to the bi-weekly build number (uname -v). I'm not sure what this should be set to on Solaris 10, the current value seems a little made up. As far as I'm aware the proper patch level can also be obtained from uname -v on Solaris 10.
