Facter / Bug FACT-3203
Kernel facts should be converted to structured instead of remaining legacy
Issue Type: Bug Bug
Affects Versions: FACT 4.3.1
Assignee: Unassigned
Components: Facter 4
Created: 2023/05/17 6:59 AM
Priority: High High
Reporter: Stephen Potter

FACT-611 called for the creation of structured facts as replacements for flattened facts.  It appears that kernelkernelmajversionkernelrelease, and kernelversion were missed in the creation of structured facts.  From an implementation standpoint, because kernel already exists, it would not be possible to have 

kernel => {
name => 'Linux',
version =>

{ full => '3.10.0', major => '3.10', release => '3.10.0-1062.21.1.el7.x86_64', }

}
but, from a taxonomy perspective it would probably be better to be part of the os structure anyway since kernel is directly related to OS similar to os.distro and os.release, so

os => {
kernel => {
name => 'Linux',
version =>

{ full => '3.10.0', major => '3.10', release => '3.10.0-1062.21.1.el7.x86_64', }

}
}
