Hi Richie,
Using the iptables_version fact thats part of the puppetlabs firewall
module, you can tweak that to change the command to return the rpm version
as in Dan's example.
The below code will return the full version string for the sqlite rpm
Jacob
Facter.add(:sqlite_version) do
confine :kernel => :linux
setcode do
version = Facter::Util::Resolution.exec('rpm -q --qf
\'%{version}-%{release}-%{arch}\' sqlite')
if version
version.match(/^\d+.*$/).to_s
else
nil
end
end
end
