Issue #18027 has been updated by Martin Barry. File utc_offset.rb added
The UTC offset idea is easy to implement as it's possible to do so with base Ruby, perhaps consider this an idea for a new fact. "Area/Location" is harder as it appears to require an additional gem. ---------------------------------------- Bug #18027: facter uses timezone abbreviations which are ambiguous https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/18027#change-78422 Author: Martin Barry Status: Unreviewed Priority: Normal Assignee: Category: Target version: Keywords: Branch: Affected Facter version: We've just installed an agent in Shanghai which has a timezone offset of UTC+8 and an abbreviation of CST. The abbreviation clashes with "Central Standard Time" in America. There are other abbreviations that are equally ambiguous like BST and EST. facter should return the UTC offset, either alongside the abbreviation or instead of it, to avoid ambiguity. -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
