Jira (PUP-1882) defaultfor method for providers should be allowed to be specified multiple times

[Pieter Hollants (JIRA)]

Title: Message Title

Pieter Hollants commented on an issue   Re: defaultfor method for providers should be allowed to be specified multiple times Right now, providers can only match on ONE particular combination on facts, eg. ONE specific version of CentOS. Considering that eg. many Linux distributions have begun to or will use systemd (RHEL7, SLES12, openSUSE 12.2 and later), there is a serious need to be able to do more complex defaultfor expressions, eg. with boolean operators along the lines of the following pseudo-code (osfamily == "archlinux") || (operatingsystem == "opensuse" && operatingsystemrelease >= "12.2") The alternative would be to introduce special facts for each of these complex checks, eg. a "has_systemd" fact, but then we'd have to pollute facts space with possibly dozens of facts that might trigger on rare setups only... Add Comment   Puppet / PUP-1882 defaultfor method for providers should be allowed to be specified multiple times You should be able to specify multiple defaultfor statements in providers: <pre>     defaultfor :operatingsystem => :redhat,                :lsbdistrelease => ["2.1", "3", "4"]     defaultfor :operatingsystem => :oel,                :operatingsystemrelease => ["4", "5"] </pre> This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.4#6159-sha1:44eaede) -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Bugs" group.
