Issue #6679 has been updated by Nigel Kersten.
I'm starting to wonder if we need an OS family fact of some kind. Feel free to open a feature request :) There are bound to end up being differences between "proper" RedHat and the various derivatives that people need to identify, so we do need an os fact for SL. I'm not particularly enamored with "scientific", but it is reasonably consistent with our other os values. "debian", "ubuntu", etc. Now is the time to get this fixed though... we're going to be cutting another RC on Monday US Pacific Time. What does the SL community refer to SL as? ---------------------------------------- Bug #6679: Facter 1.5.8 does not identify Scientific Linux https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/6679 Author: James Goddard Status: Re-opened Priority: Low Assignee: Category: library Target version: 1.5.9 Keywords: operatingsystem Branch: https://github.com/jamtur01/facter/tree/ticket/master/6679 I just started playing with Scientific Linux 6.0, and the first thing I have noticed is that the operatingsystem fact has no flag for this distro. The relevant file is /usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/facter/operatingsystem.rb, and as a first draft, I have added a clause for it (and attached): 39,40d38 < elsif txt =~ /scientific/i < "Scientific" Thanks, Jim Goddard -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
