this one is thoroughly tested by me.
Changes since 1.5:
- Enabled a number of Windows facts - operating system, domain,
ipaddress, macaddress, kernel, ipconfig and others.
- macaddress now set on Ubuntu.
- CONFIG['bindir'] CONFIG['sbindir'] have undesirable defaults on.
- Allow specification of --bindir --sbindir --sitelibdir --mandir.
- Package creation scripts for Mac OS X.
- Solaris. (Whatever was done here, it's written like that in the ChangeLog.)
- Add module level tests for Facter::IPAddress.
- Add sample test and strawman solution for IP parsing code.
- Adding better SuSE detection for both operatingsystem and release.
- Adding a rake task for creating an archive.
- macaddress not set on Ubuntu.
- Modified the operatingsystem fact for Debian so it looks in
/etc/debian_version instead of /proc/version.
- Added virtual fact.
- Added kernelversion fact.
- Facter now defaults to 0 timeout.
- CentOS version detection is now better.
- Set the timeout the host-based and resolve-based resolutions to 2.
- Added a Process.waitall thread when there's a timeout, to avoid zombies.
- Update to dmidecode fact.
- Added operatingsystemrelease for Solaris.
- Updated virtual fact for xenu and xen0.
- Removed facter from PREREQS.
