Hello all, We are evaluating https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/8322 and https://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7643. It seems to reason that some of these facts are going to be Windows specific. In Facter we want to call these out specifically with a prefix similar to how is done on OSX (with * sp_*) so that they are not relied on cross platform. Any facts that are not Windows specific will be mapped to pre-existing facts, like we do with ''kernelrelease''. My initial thought is that we should use something like *win_* but I wanted to check to see if there is a better prefix that we should use. Following that convention a fact might be win_os_language="1033" Thoughts? -- Rob Reynolds *Join us at PuppetConf 2013, August 22-23 in San Francisco - * http://bit.ly/pupconf13 -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.

[Puppet Users] Re: [Puppet-dev] Windows Specific Facts
Agreed, the sp_ prefix is unfortunate. It''s to indicate they came from System Profiler. On Jul 12, 2013, at 2:43 PM, "Dustin J.
