* Package name : facterdb Version : 1.2.0 Upstream Author : Mickaël Canévet <mickael.cane...@camptocamp.com> * URL : https://github.com/camptocamp/facterdb * License : Apache-2.0 Programming Lang: Ruby Description : Database of facts from many Facter versions on many Operating Systems The facterdb command can lookup its database with a set of versions of Facter and a set of Operating System distributions and versions and output the list of facts corresponding to those to the terminal. The output is formatted in JSON so it can be parsed by other scripts and programs. When used as a library, the same lookups can be done in a programmatic way. This means that you can use the facts in any Ruby program. Having access to lists of facts that mimic different setups is useful for running tests and making sure that features for those different setups are doing what's expected. This command and library is generally useful for Puppet module development and creating CI environments for running module unit tests. It's also used by the puppet-development-kit, so it is a dependency for this tool. I plan on maintaining this package from within the ruby team. I will ask for sponsorship from the team.
