Feature #17029: Gentoo linux should properly be it's own osfamily
https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/17029#change-83198

Author: Joshua Hoblitt
Status: Merged - Pending Release
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: 
Target version: 1.7.0
Keywords: osfamily gentoo
Branch: https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/pull/336
Affected Facter version: 


Presently, osfamily on gentoo linux is set by the default handler to just 
'Linux'.  This isn't very helpful when doing a case statement on $osfamily in 
puppet to select package names as your forced into nesting a check for 
$operatingsystem = "Gentoo".

Gentoo truly is a family as there are many derivatives in the wild although 
there don't seem to be any unit tests for these operatingsystems in the facter 
tree.  Including at last these members: 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Gentoo_Linux_derivatives

I'm planning to submit a pull request to add Gentoo as it's own osfamily.
