Issue #9766 has been updated by Ken Barber.
Priority changed from Normal to Low
Keywords set to uname, hostname, posix
Affected Facter version changed from 1.6.1 to 1.6.2rc1
So Nigel,
Right now the discussion has continued in the thread inidicated above and I
think some good points have been made. I can't get traction on priority as it
seems only a couple of people are wanting this now but I'm of the believe that
the solution proposed is not a terrible one to work around this issue. In that
we create a set of new facts:
uname_nodename: is uname -n only and isn't contrived
uname_release: is uname -r
uname_version: is uname -v
...etc...
This duplicates a lot of facts in behaviour - but sticks to the posix
compliance interpretation only.
Dexter Plameras (easybeats - an old colleague of mine) has volunteered to help
write a prototype. I'll get him to join redmine and we can probably assign it
to him if he still wants to help.
What do you think? I'm going to mark this as 'low' because I didn't get a lot
of people screaming for it - but its still important to some people - while it
does have a purism feel about it - the solution does align more with the posix
definitions.

Bug #9766: hostname fact doesn't handle hostnames with dots (relative to
domainname)
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/9766
Author: Doug Balmer
Status: Needs Decision
Priority: Low
Assignee: Nigel Kersten
Category: library
Target version:
Keywords: uname, hostname, posix
Branch:
Affected Facter version: 1.6.2rc1
Some of us for various reasons like to have "hostname"s that are "relative
names" that could contain a period. "example.com" below is the domain name.
