Issue #11658 has been updated by Jiri Hoogeveen.
Hi, facterversion => 1.7.1 puppetversion => 3.2.1 rubyversion => 1.8.7 I had the issue, that puppet did know the operatingsystemrelease. This because I change my /etc/issue. I don't think /etc/issue is a good place to get the OS version. Can this be changed to /etc/os-release or "lsb_release -a" Thnx ---------------------------------------- Bug #11658: Noticed operatingsystemrelease isn't trying to use lsbdistrelease on Linux boxes https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/11658#change-92192 * Author: Joe McDonagh * Status: Accepted * Priority: Normal * Assignee: Hailee Kenney * Category: library * Target version: 2.x * Keywords: * Branch: * Affected Facter version: 1.6.4 ---------------------------------------- Causing some of my code to fail on the upcoming Ubuntu LTS 12.04. Basically it's got a ton of conditionals in this file, which I can see the utility of having in case LSB isn't available. However, I think the more clever, and proper way to handle this, is on Facter.value(:kernel) == "Linux", first try to use lsbdistrelease to fill in operatingsystemrelease if it's there, then fall back to these sort of rough around the edges determination methods if it's not available. This is what the fact operatingsystemrelease shows on my 12.04 test box: operatingsystemrelease => 3.2.0-2-generic This is cause it can't glean the info from /etc/issue (which is a pretty unreliable place to look for OS info) so it uses kernelrelease... I am kind of depending on a version here which is the other problem. Should this fact contain strings? I'd have a patch ready for you guys but I think this is a design question really... -- You have received this notification because you have either subscribed to it, or are involved in it.
