Steve Traylen commented on FACT-475   Re: Default external-dir should be exposed as a core fact Hi, Yes we have a use case.We calculate facts within manifests to deploy static files. e.g.   $bar = some_function($::fqdn)   file{'/etc/facter/facts.d/myfact.txt': ensure => present, content => "foo=${bar}\n" } Having a fact for /etc/facter/facts.d would avoid us having to hard code that path. The obvious question is why bother to write the fact foo given we already have it's value during the compilation. We use the fact value from puppetdb for inventory calculations.
