new fact "os" #172

Open unixmind opened 7 years ago

unixmind commented 7 years ago

Question : could we use new fact "os" in order to manage Puppet repositories for XenServer hosts ?

Expected Behavior

manage EL7 packages for XenServer 7.0 (and EL5 for XenServer 6.x) we should use "os.name" and "os.release.major" facts

Actual Behavior

on all XenServer releases, Puppet packages are for EL5

For fix this on xenserver I'd use facts that work both on 3.x and 4.x Puppet versions such as $operatingsystemmajrel and $osfamily or $operatingsysystem

I'd start to use the $os fact only in a Puppet 4 only compatible module. m2c.
