Title: Message Title Rick Sherman commented on FACT-1246 Re: handle multiple values in ID_LIKE Per Glenn Matthews: "Given that in NX-OS we are already reporting 'cisco-wrlinux' and not 'wrlinux', having Facter use the first (most specific) value for os.family would be most convenient for us. We have no requirement at this time for handling the other 'less specific' values in ID_LIKE, so I'm fine with deferring that conversation." Kylo Ginsberg, let's discuss getting this into the pipeline.

Title: Message Title Kylo Ginsberg commented on FACT-1246 Re: handle multiple values in ID_LIKE In the example given os.family => "cisco-wrlinux wrlinux" clearly doesn't make sense, so I'm certainly +1 on fixing that. Out of band, Scott Garman suggested that os.family return the first element, i.e. cisco-wrlinux. I am not aware of any precedent for use of ID_LIKE - if anyone else has additional real-world examples using ID_LIKE, please chime in. Absent other information though, Scott's idea makes sense to me. Glenn Matthews, you're closest to Cisco's plans in this area - thoughts? Also in that thread, Glenn Matthews, suggested perhaps adding an os.extended_family for the following element (or elements) found in the ID_LIKE field. I feel like that will be a bit more design work (e.g. string or array? ordering meaningful? behavior for platforms which don't have such a concept?), so if there's demand for that, let's move that discussion into a separate ticket?

Title: Message Title Kylo Ginsberg updated an issue Facter / FACT-1246 handle multiple values in ID_LIKE Change By: Kylo Ginsberg Environment: In a standards-compliant /etc/os-release file, the ID_LIKE field (http://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/os-release.html#ID_LIKE=) may contain a space-separated list of related OS "in order of how closely the local operating system relates to the listed ones, starting with the closest". Some newer Cisco OS thus have the field set as 'ID_LIKE="cisco-wrlinux wrlinux"', indicating that the OS is closely related to other Cisco WRLinux derivatives, and less closely related to the generic WRLinux distribution.

Currently in such a case Facter naively reports 'os.family => "cisco-wrlinux wrlinux"' which is probably not optimal. It should probably report one or the other - I'm not sure whether the most specific match or the least specific match is more appropriate.
