Yeah, looking at the facter sources, there's this bit of code:
https://github.com/puppetlabs/facter/blob/master/lib/src/facts/linux/operati...
It's only looking at /etc/redhat-release, and it's looking for various strings in that file to work out what OS it is. As the C7.1 redhat-release says "Red Hat" in it, it's identifying the OS as Red Hat.
I'm going to poke 7.1 with a few more tools and see what they say.
It also broke Ansible:
[root@c7dev2 ~]# rpm -q centos-release centos-release-7-0.1406.el7.centos.2.5.x86_64 [root@c7dev2 ~]# ansible 127.0.0.1 -m setup -a filter=ansible_distribution 127.0.0.1 | success >> { "ansible_facts": { "ansible_distribution": "CentOS" }, "changed": false }
[root@c7dev ~]# rpm -q centos-release centos-release-7-1.1503.el7.centos.2.7.x86_64 [root@c7dev ~]# ansible 127.0.0.1 -m setup -a filter=ansible_distribution 127.0.0.1 | success >> { "ansible_facts": { "ansible_distribution": "RedHat" }, "changed": false }
And it's broken ohai, so Chef is broken:
[root@c7dev2 ~]# ohai | fgrep platform "platform": "centos", "platform_version": "7.0.1406", "platform_family": "rhel", "platform": "x86_64-linux",
[root@c7dev ~]# ohai | fgrep platform "platform": "derived", "platform_version": null, "platform": "x86_64-linux",
So, does anyone know what this centos-release change fixes?
