Description

Hi,

Knowing the augeas version is a common problem if you are using augeas. The best way to solve that problem is by shipping a fact that provides it. Such a fact is quite simple and has been described here: http://blog.kumina.nl/2010/03/puppet-tipstricks-getting-the-version-from-a-package/

Would you kindly consider pulling this into upstream facter, so we can stop all adding this individually? :)

Such a fact could be possible, but the provided implementation is debian specific. A method of determining the version of augeas would really need to support a wider variety of platforms.

Wouldn’t the right thing to do be try and load Augeas itself, then report the version number directly from that?

Good idea – you should be able to require ‘augeas’.

Used the Augeas library via the Ruby bindings to get the value of /augeas/version for portability.
