Puppet users - Jul 2013 - operatingsystemrelease fact on windows

Hi everyone,

I''ve revisited one of the old facter issues for the windows hosts: 
implementing the ''operatingsystemrelease'' 
(http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/7621). 

The current version is returning the kernel release, but in the windows 
world, a kernel release (like 6.2) can refer to different releases of the 
operating system (Windows 8 or Windows 2012).

I''ve sent a pull request
(https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/pull/500)
that implements this alternative behavior for the fact: returning the 
common windows release name, but as it changes the semantics of the current 
fact, I''d like to have your feedback about this change in the pull
request.

Cheers,
Luis

Luis,

This seems useful. I''ve never actually used any of the facts that
return
the numeric Windows version, but have used the named version (with my own 
fact). Since it looks like this piece of information is repeated in 3 
facts, changing one to someone else seems like a good move.
