Name        : facter
Product     : Fedora 17
Version     : 1.6.18
Release     : 3.fc17
URL         : http://www.puppetlabs.com/puppet/related-projects/facter/
Summary     : Command and ruby library for gathering system information
Description :
Facter is a lightweight program that gathers basic node information about the
hardware and operating system. Facter is especially useful for retrieving
things like operating system names, hardware characteristics, IP addresses, MAC
addresses, and SSH keys.

Facter is extensible and allows gathering of node information that may be
custom or site specific. It is easy to extend by including your own custom
facts. Facter can also be used to create conditional expressions in Puppet that
key off the values returned by facts.

Update Information:

The previous update added support for improved detection of virtual systems via use of the virt-what command.  Unfortunately, virt-what does not currently work for non-root users and facter was not properly catching the warning that virt-what sent to stdout.  This caused the virtual fact to be incorrect when facter was run by a non-root user.

This update applies the same fix that was submitted and applied to facter upstream.
