[Puppet Users] Problems with Fact returning the version of an installed RPM.

Hi,

Have written what I think is a simple fact to return the version of an 
installed RPM, but when I use the returned variable its blank so perhaps 
someone can point me in the write direction, or somone might know a better 
way to do this. Here is the fact :-

require ''facter''
Facter.add(''rpmbversion'') do
  setcode do
    Facter::Util::Resolution.exec("rpm -qia rpm_name | grep Version | sed 
''s/Version     : //g'' |cut -f1-5 -d''
''")
  end
end


Thanks in Advance :)

Richie.

Re: [Puppet Users] Problems with Fact returning the version of an installed RPM.

Thanks Ygor, gold stars for you and pints of beer, unfortunately this still 
doesn''t return the version to the fact. Do i have to pass the resulting
string to a variable and then pass the variable back ?

Re: [Puppet Users] Problems with Fact returning the version of an installed RPM.

OK. Time for a possibly silly question: 

How are you getting the name of the RPM into the Ruby code ?

Re: [Puppet Users] Problems with Fact returning the version of an installed RPM.

Hi Richie,

Using the iptables_version fact thats part of the puppetlabs firewall
module, you can tweak that to change the command to return the rpm version
as in Dan''s example.

The below code will return the full version string for the sqlite rpm

Jacob


Facter.add(:sqlite_version) do
  confine :kernel => :linux
  setcode do
    version = Facter::Util::Resolution.exec(''rpm -q --qf
\''%{version}-%{release}-%{arch}\'' sqlite'')
    if version
      version.match(/^\d+.*$/).to_s
    else
      nil
    end
  end
end
