lsbmajdistrelease fact
Arnau Bria
I've noticed that facter version superior from epel do not
display lsbmajdistrelease fact:
# facter lsbmajdistrelease
5
# rpm -qa|grep facter
facter-1.5.5-1.el5
# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Tikanga)
# facter lsbmajdistrelease
# cat /etc/redhat-release
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Tikanga)
# rpm -qa|grep facter
facter-1.5.8-1.el5
package from
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/epel/5/x86_64/facter-1.5.8-1.el5.noarch.rpm
I've looked at bugtracker and seen no ref to this behaviour ... am I
doing something wrong? is it a real bug?
TIA,
Arnau

Sorry for the noise, that's not true.
it works in some systems and it doesn't in others. I'm sure I have some
diff between systems, so, I have to change my question: anyone could
tell me what package could be causing this diff behaivour between hosts?
TIA,

On Debian systems you need to specifically install the lsb-release
package, which provides the lsb_release command.
lsb_release is provided by redhat-lsb under Fedora (which is installed
by default.)

seems trivial now... an hour looking for diff and it was so easy...
thanks again!

As a general remark, I try and refrain from the use of such unportable
facts whenever possible.
