-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hi all
We're currently looking at the next release of Facter and the future direction of the tool. I'd like to try and prompt some discussions on facter and what people want from it. As a starter here's some (although not all) of the ideas we'll be working through: 1. Namespaces - add a namespace or tiered namespace to Facter, i.e. network -> interface -> ipaddress. 2. Additional output formats - JSON, XML? (winces) - Facter already outputs in YAML. 3. Additional collection mechanisms, for example the ability to specify a fact file, /etc/facter.conf, containing fact name=value pairs. 4. A more Ruby DSL for facts 5. Rich data structures/values in facts If you have additional ideas/requirements/issues/comments we'd welcome feedback.
