Josh Cooper commented on FACT-3089   Re: Processor ISA fact on Linux reports wrong data if the string contains a period Facter 3 calls uname -p in the default posix processor resolver: https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/blob/abb9990f1989d99eab8e4602e85dd0f7b9819db4/lib/src/facts/posix/processor_resolver.cc#L15 and returns that value verbatim. Facter 4 calls uname -p but it splits the output on dots: https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/blob/88a4f07aca392d438792c329994c462de0c7746b/lib/facter/facts/linux/processors/isa.rb#L20 It was originally implemented that way in https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/commit/6ba4bd1b2b6f5e871d975d98ae0472cf41580c32#diff-41c8b651faa41036e4010c0e5ae74f54fb405f4049f46340a8882c495b2d41b5R18, but I don't think that makes sense. We should just return whatever uname -p returns. Side note: uname -p is not portable, see https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/commit/6d67649d86a0dcfefb4dfbc0c29f8bb7595f14bb Add Comment   This message was sent by Atlassian Jira (v8.20.2#820002-sha1:829506d) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
