Issue #7682 has been updated by Ben Hughes. Status changed from Unreviewed to Requires CLA to be signed
This has come up before and it's not something we're going to introduce to a 1.5.x series patch due to completely smashing POLA I'm afraid. Changing how many people have their manifests written currently on a point release would not be welcomed. What we are looking to do is introduce an "osfamily" or similar fact, and then have more specific "operatingsystem" facts. Have a look at #6679 for more details. (saying that, thank you for the patch, and we'll use it for 1.6.x, if you could sign the CLA please). ---------------------------------------- Bug #7682: Scientific Linux operatingsystemrelease is incorrect, other facts missing https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7682 Author: Orion Poplawski Status: Requires CLA to be signed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: library Target version: Keywords: Branch: Affected Facter version: 1.5.9 # diff facter-1.5.8 facter-1.5.9 5d4 < hardwareisa => x86_64 17d16 < macaddress => 00:16:3E:64:2E:18 25,26c25,27 < operatingsystem => RedHat < operatingsystemrelease => 6.0 --- > operatingsystem => Scientific > operatingsystemrelease => 2.6.32-71.29.1.el6.x86_64 47d50 < uniqueid => 0a0a0929 # ls -l /etc/*release -rw-r--r--. 1 root root 38 Feb 24 13:12 /etc/redhat-release lrwxrwxrwx. 1 root root 14 May 2 19:16 /etc/system-release -> redhat-release # cat /etc/redhat-release Scientific Linux release 6.0 (Carbon) $operatingsystemrelease should be 6.0 Where RedHat is used in other places, Scientific should also be in the list.
