cfacter 3.11.0 pre-release gems available on rubygems

[Sean McDonald]

Hey folks!

Prior to the release of facter 3.11.0 next week, we have published pre-release gems of facter 3.11.0 (native facter gems) to the cfacter namespace.

You can now:

gem install cfacter --pre

to get facter 3 as a gem. there are precompiled binaries available for Linux, MacOS, and Windows. If you do happen to install the pre-release gem and try it out, let us know how it goes!

Just for some context, the goal of providing facter3 as a gem is primarily so that the testing/tooling ecosystem that relies on running puppet+facter from bundles/source can test against a modern version of Facter... Thanks for getting this going Sean & team.

An update to this:

After some testing we found out that the renaming the gem (to avoid conflicting with facter 2 gems) was not a good user experience. So we have instead release facter 3.11.0 as a 'pre-release' gem under the facter namespace. More info here: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/puppet-dev/kLZJuhKvjc4
