I disliked all the dependencies that the -lsb package pulled onto my
servers, like CUPS and X. So I just created a custom fact with the
code that has been used since el3 to determine a release:
Facter.add("release") do
setcode do
%x{cat /etc/redhat-release | awk -Frelease {'print $2'} | awk
{'print $1'} | awk -F. {'print $1'}}.chomp
end
end
Not any more elegant than the /^5/ matching, but I am happy with it.
