Description

Fact: operatingsystemmajrelease

Purpose: Returns the major release of the operating system.

Resolution: splits down the operatingsystemrelease fact at decimal point for
 osfamily RedHat derivatives and Debian.

This should be the same as lsbmajdistrelease, but on minimal systems there
are too many dependencies to use LSB

List of operatingsystems at time of writing:

“Alpine” “Amazon” “Archlinux” “Ascendos” “Bluewhite64” “CentOS” “CloudLinux” “Debian” “Fedora” “Gentoo” “Mandrake” “Mandriva” “MeeGo” “OEL” “OpenSuSE” “OracleLinux” “OVS” “PSBM” “RedHat” “Scientific” “Slackware” “Slamd64” “SLC” “SLED” “SLES” “SuSE” “Ubuntu” “VMWareESX”
