I searched through old messages and didn't see that this had been addressed. I can see people wanting facter to report the minor version and others wanting just the major release number. The way it stands I'll need to change every operatingystemrelease variable, each time a new minor version come out. That's a pain I don't need. So I'll work around this by creating my own fact. Having two variables for the OS release seems to me a good choice. Just my 2 cents. Kent -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
