Hello...
I just started rolling out facter 1.5.7 (from 1.5.5) on our rhel 5.x
servers and ran into http://projects.reductivelabs.com/issues/2312 . In
a few of my fileserving classes I use the os release fact to determine
what file to serve. e.g. ntpd.conf.5 and ntpd.conf.3 for rhel5 and
rhel3 respectively. With the above bugfix my puppet clients now look
for ntpd.conf.5.4, which fails. I implemented a workaround, but wanted
a cleaner solution. What I came up with is below:
Facter.add("operatingsystemreleasemajor") do
confine :kernel => :FreeBSD
setcode do
Facter::operatingsystemrelease.gsub(/-\w+/,'')
end
end
Facter.add("operatingsystemreleasemajor") do
confine :kernel => :Linux
setcode do
Facter::operatingsystemrelease.gsub(/\.\w+/,'')
end
end
which AFAICT, could just be appended to facter/operatingsystemrelease.rb
What I get is:
[chris...@rhel54 facterlib-test]$ facter | grep operatingsystem
operatingsystem => RedHat
operatingsystemrelease => 5.4
[chris...@rhel54 facterlib-test]$ export
FACTERLIB=/home/chrismcc/facterlib-test/
[chris...@rhel54 facterlib-test]$ facter | grep operatingsystem
operatingsystem => RedHat
operatingsystemrelease => 5.4
operatingsystemreleasemajor => 5
and FreeBSD:
[chris...@freebsd63 facterlib-test]$ facter | grep operatingsystem
operatingsystem => FreeBSD
operatingsystemrelease => 6.3-RELEASE-p13
operatingsystemreleasemajor => 6.3
I only have RHEL and FreeBSD to test on, but I do not think the code
will break on other OSs like debian/solaris/etc.
What are the chances of getting this into the next facter release,
assuming others think it useful?

no 'mute rays.' And even if there were, waxed paper is
no defense. I tried it. Only tinfoil works.
