That's simple enough, and the docs [1] for creating a custom fact are
mostly straightforward.
The one thing I am unclear on, in the "plugins in modules" [2] document, it
says that if you are going to put your custom stuff in a module (such as in
their example, named 'custom') it says to follow the standard layout, and
that you have to have a manifests/init.pp.
If all that is actually in the thing is lib/facter/myfact.rb, what do I put
in the manifests/init.pp ? Is it enough for it to exist but be empty?
The document was somewhat unclear on this, or I missed it when reading.
