| I didn't see a way to put a ticket in for Modules project. Puppet Version: latest Puppet Server Version: latest OS Name/Version: windows 2019 Desired Behavior: fast fact processing on windows, and not waste time with dummy package instantiation Actual Behavior: slow fact in stdlib. package_provider on windows is kind of pointless to just return 'windows' and the approach can take 15+ seconds minimum to return, particularly over winrm but it occurs on local runs as well. Setting a default would occur in puppet code, which occurs after facts are evaluated, so this fact will be moot on windows |
