Description Stephen Benjamin 2014-08-21 11:42:39 UTC
The following would be nice functionality I think

Matching on something like: os =~ ^RedHat 6.* would greatly simplify doing stuff for different major versions of a specific distro.

lsbdistcodename is insufficient as all versions of CentOS report Final as codename.
operatingsystemmajrelease is insufficient as well, as that will also match Debian 6.x

Alternatively matching multiple facts using and/or logic would work as well.

osfamily = RedHat and (&&) operatingsystemmajrelease = 6

Comment 17 Bryan Kearney 2016-12-13 12:30:51 UTC
With the current architecture of smart class parameters, this would require a major reworking of the matchers. We do not believe we will be addressing this in the next few releases, so I am closing this out. If you have additional business information around this bug, please feel free to re-open and provide that information.
