Issue #11308 has been reported by Stefan Schulte. ---------------------------------------- Refactor #11308: general operatingsystemrelease fact should be deprecated https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/11308
Author: Stefan Schulte Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: library Target version: Keywords: Branch: Affected Facter version: If more than one `operatingsystemrelease` fact suits our system facter will try them all until one fact returns a value that is not "" or nil. There is currently one implementation of the `operatingsystemrelease` fact that suits all systems: <pre> Facter.add(:operatingsystemrelease) do setcode do Facter[:kernelrelease].value end end </pre> So if not special `operatingsystemrelease` was build for a specific OS, the one above is picked. I'd like to see this one deprecated. I don't see the point in duplicating facts (facter output is harder to read) and it gets hard if we want to implement a proper `operatingsystemrelease` fact later (#11082) because we do not know if people are already using this fact instead of using the `kernelrelease` fact directly. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
