Issue #14570 has been updated by Jeff Weiss. Category set to interface
After talking with Pieter and our external caching decision (#14667), we'll keep the existing DSL, but add on capabilities to define the types (when structured facts #4561 come along) though defaulting to `:string` and make some minor modifications to the `confine` logic so the the fact doesn't need to be re-defined for the a special case (e.g. do this for Solaris and that for HP-UX). Additionally, we'll likely alias `setcode` and `resolve` with the hope of deprecating the terribly named `setcode` later. ---------------------------------------- Feature #14570: Separate fact definition from fact resolution https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/14570#change-63777 Author: Jeff Weiss Status: Accepted Priority: Normal Assignee: Jeff Weiss Category: interface Target version: 2.1.0 Keywords: Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/tree/integration/fact_definition Affected Facter version: Saying what a fact is should be separate from the mechanics of how we resolve that fact. The fact definition might include things like: - description - data type (string, boolean, numeric, array, hash, etc) - cache-able? - time-to-live in cache? -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
