Puppet users - Jul 2010 - facter fails to recognize OEL/OVS in operatingsystemrelease.rb

For the benefit of those running OEL (Oracle Enterprise Linux) or OVS,
be aware that under 2.6.0rc4 facter doesn''t properly recognize OEL in
/usr/lib/ruby/site_ruby/1.8/facter/operatingsystemrelease.rb.  A diff
for a fix is below; probably not the best fix but if you need it work
now, this''ll do it for you.

I''ve already filed a bug:
http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4289

BTW, you should be aware that Puppet 2.6 now supports Oracle Database 
(including RAC) as a backend for storeconfigs. I have written a blog 
post on how to configure this which should go up on blogs.oracle.com in 
the next week or so. Just waiting on final technical sign-off. I''m 
hoping to also get it up as an article on OTN as well.

Cheers,
Avi
