This release is available for download at: http://puppetlabs.com/downloads/facter/facter-1.6.1rc3.tar.gz See the Verifying Puppet Download section at: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Downloading_Puppet Please report feedback via the Puppet Labs Redmine site, using an affected version of 1.6.1rc3: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/facter/ Full Release Notes at: https://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/facter/wiki/ Facter 1.6.1rc3 Release Notes === CHANGELOG -- Prevent repeated loading of fact files Fix #8491 Fact loading could recurse indefinitely if a fact file attempted to call Fact#value on a fact that was not yet defined before the current file. If Fact#value was called outside of a setcode block, it would be evaluated at load time and the loader would rescan the fact path from the beginning and would reenter the current file, continuing until the stack was full. This is a byproduct of the more exhaustive fact searching introduced in 2255abee. The resolution for this is to track the files that have been loaded and ignore subsequent attempts to load them, emulating the behavior of Kernel.require. However, since facts can be legitimately refreshed over the life of a ruby process using Facter, Facter.clear will reset the list of loaded files by destroying the fact collection, and subsequently the loader. Currently puppet agent will reload all facts preceding a run, so normal puppet agent behavior will remain as expected. However, the facter facts terminus manually loads fact files itself and bypasses facter's search path and standard loading mechanism. While it will benefit from the recursion protection, it currently does not have a way to reset the loaded file list. -- Fix logic for domain fact so hostname, then dnsdomainname and finally resolv.conf is used. Fix #9457 A recent commit changed the logic for how this fall-through logic was working. I've fixed the logic and added more coverage to pick up on this. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Puppet Users" group.
