Facter 1.6.6 Release Notes
=====================
Support EC2 facts on OpenStack
OpenStack exports an EC2 compatible API, so make the information
available via facts by knowing that OpenStack generates mac addresses
beginning with 02:16:3E
#12666 Make ec2 facts work on CentOS again
Refactoring the ec2 facts lost the support for CentOS where the
hardware address in arp -an is uppercased. Fix and add a unit
test now that there are those
#12362 Use Tempfile to generate temp files
Previously, facter used ENV['TMP'], ENV['TEMP'], /tmp, etc as it's
temp directory search path, using the first one that existed. It then
used constant file names within the temp directory to re-write the
files in ruby's bin directory, and bat wrappers on Windows.
First, it leads to predictable temp file names, which is bad. Second,
when installing facter via a non-interactive ssh shell, e.g.
ssh <host> ruby install.rb
which is what the acceptance test harness does, the TMP and TEMP
environment variables are usually not defined. So facter was always
defaulting to /tmp, which doesn't work when installing facter on
Windows agents during acceptance tests.
This commit just changes the install script to use ruby's Tempfile to
generate secure temp files that works in non-interactive shells.
