Availability of Facter 4 nightly gems

[Gabriel Nagy]

Hello,

We are happy to announce that Facter 4 nightly gems are now available to use under http://nightlies.puppet.com/downloads/gems/facter-nightly/

We highly encourage folks who are interested in the latest Facter 4 features and fixes to try out the builds. Please note that nightly builds come with a degree of instability, but it's the best way to test out features that have not yet been officially released.

As always, we welcome your feedback either on the #puppet Slack channel (slack.puppet.com), and if you find any issues please open a ticket on our JIRA under the FACT project: http://tickets.puppetlabs.com/browse/FACT

Are these also fed into the nightly agent builds, or do I need additional steps to get nightly facter on top of a nightly agent build?

Good question! These are the exact same versions of Facter that are bundled with the nightly puppet-agent builds, so no additional steps are needed if you're already using nightly agent builds.

Additionally, as most of you know, Facter 4 is also available as facter-ng on the puppet6 stream. Previously we used to manually bump the facter-ng version which led to Facter 4 being outdated at times in the puppet6 nightly build. This process has been automated and both puppet-agent 6 and 7 builds should come with the latest nightly versions of Facter 4.
