After a very busy week on the security front last week, we are back to monthly release/RC cycles.
Facter 1.6.2rc1 is a maintenance release containing fixes, updates and refactoring. This release is available for download at: http://puppetlabs.com/downloads/facter/facter-1.6.2rc1.tar.gz See the Verifying Puppet Download section at: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/puppet/wiki/Downloading_Puppet#Verifying+Puppet+Downloads Please report feedback via the Puppet Labs Redmine site, using an affected version of 1.6.2rc1: http://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/facter/ Full Release Notes at: https://projects.puppetlabs.com/projects/facter/wiki/Wiki Highlights in this release candidate: # Facter 1.6.2rc1 Release Notes ## Maint: (9555) Change all cases of tabs and 4 space indentation to 2 space indentation. Since 2 space indentation seems to be Puppets (and the ruby communities) standard this patch converts all incorrect indentation to 2 spaces. The fact that we were mixing the indentation was causing people to mix them within files - sometimes using 4 space, sometimes 2 space. This single change makes it consistent across all the code. ## New Fact: (9830) Add sshecdsakey fact From version 5.7 onward, openssh has support for elliptic curve DSA keys[1,2]. This commit adds a fact for those keytypes. 1 - http://openssh.org/txt/release-5.7 2 - http://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc5656 ## New Platform: (9404) Add memory & update processor facts for DragonFly and OpenBSD. Since there was no coverage for memory tests these have been added for the two OS's. Also since the mechanism for processor detection was changes this was fixed for OpenBSD. A similar mechanism was added for the new DragonFly BSD support. ## Fix (9404) De-clumsify CPU count detection and swap detection on OpenBSD. As part of the DragonFly BSD work is was noticed that the OpenBSD implementation could benefit from the same techniques so this commit aligns that. ## Fix (6728) Improve openvz/cloudlinux detection. Added more cloudlinux detection, which has /proc/lve/list present on cloudlinux hosts. Removed a default value from openvz_type detection, which could lead to a virtual value of "unknown" if the openvz check partially failed, which could cause other legitimate virtual tests to be skipped. ## New Platform: (7951) added OS support for Amazon Linux ## Maint: (9787) Change rspec format so we use the default, not document Current running rake spec in facter means we get the document output which is very verbose. Unfortunately we are forcing this in our .rspec file so you can’t override it on a user by user basis with ~/.rspec for example. I think we should not define —format, which means the default is progress (which is less verbose and better for the average Joe and hacker who just wants red light/green light) and then if people really want document format they can override this in their own ~/.rspec file. This way its the best of both worlds – more meaningful defaults and allowing user overrides. ##Fix (7726) Silence prtconf error message inside zones prtconf will output an error message when run inside a zone, which clutters up facter output. Redirected the stderr to /dev/null. ## Fix (4980, 6470) Fix architecture in Darwin and Ubuntu Architecture now relies on the hardwaremodel fact unless special cased otherwise, such as for linux distributions that require amd64 as the expected architecture. Ubuntu was added as a special case, OpenBSD was collapsed into the current architecture fact and Darwin was added by removing the kernel confine statement for the architecture fact. ##New fact: (6792) Added osfamily fact. Added osfamily fact to determine if a given operating system is a derivative of a common operating system. ##Fix (6515 and 2945) Fix processorcount for arm, sparc & ppc for linux. Previously we were unable to check processor type and count on other architectures for linux. This fix corrects that. To remove complication from the fact we have moved the logic for parsing cpuinfo and lsdev into their own static classes in Facter::Util::Processor. This is to help with stubbing and to segregate that action as now we have more conditional cases. Tests and corresponding cpuinfo fixtures have been added to test those alternative platforms as well. ##Fix (3856) Detect VirtualBox on Darwin as well as Linux and SunOS ## Fix (7996) Restrict solaris cpu processor detection x86_64 based solaris machines have a pkg_core_id field in output of kstat cpu_info, which denotes the core id of a specific core relative to the cpu. This could cause misreporting of processor count. The regex to count cores was restricted to prevent this. Additional x86_64 tests were added to verify this behavior. ##Fix (7996) Add solaris processor facts Adds processorcount and physicalprocessorcount facts for solaris. Added minor whitespace change for physicalprocessorcount spec that ccompanied adding a solaris section to the spec. Thanks to Merritt Krakowitzer for his contributions to this patch. ##Fix (9295) Initial detection of Hyper-V hypervisor pulled out from video card matching and dmidecode Future plans include grabbing version info and seeing if module is loaded. dmidecode info: System Information Manufacturer: Microsoft Corporation Product Name: Virtual Machine Version: 7.0 Serial Number: ....-....-....-....-....-....-.. (removed) UUID: ........-....-....-....-............ (removed) Wake-up Type: Power Switch ##Fix (2747) Fix detection of xen0 vs xenu in Xen 3.2. Check for xsd_kva for dom0, rather than independent_wallclock (which is present on both dom0 and domu). Work around /proc/xen/capabilities, which is sometimes not world-readable.
