The "minimal" install option doesn't install the redhat-lsb package. I
personally prefer it that way, since it pulls in a bunch of useless
stuff (in my case, required to be LSB compliant), but it does make
it a bit more tricky to detect your OS release.
Workaround are simple enough, things like :
if $::operatingsystem == "RedHat" and $::operatingsystemrelease < 6
And also selectors like these (note that $operatingsystemrelease
includes the minor version such as '5.7' or '6.1') :
$foo = $::operatingsystemrelease ? {
/^5/ => $rhel5,
/^6/ => $thel6,
}
Of course you can also do this, still without relying on redhat-lsb :
$foo = "${::operatingsystem}${::operatingsystemrelease}" ? {
/^RedHat5/ => $rhel5,
/^RedHat6/ => $thel6,
}
You will need to update that regexp before RHEL 50 ;-)
