Hi @maccelf You can submit facts from that OS.

@maccelf a PR would be great, but meanwhile I agree that we need to add facts for the new RedHat clones. Do you think it’s just a case of copying the RedHat facts with a couple of modifications or are there more substantial differences?

Hi @alexjfisher, yes i think copying the RedHat facts with a couple of modifications would be enough. But i am added almalinux/8 in Vagrantfile. And when i run facter operatingsystem they returned me RedHat because of what the get_facts.sh script saves facts in redhat-8-x86_64.facts rather than in almalinux-8-x86_64.facts, but in my local machine facter operatingsystem returned AlmaLinux. Maybe you know where fackter get that value ?

Perhaps you run it with a too old version of Facter that doesn't recognize AlmaLinux?

I am using Facter 3.14

Which exact version? It was only 3.14.17 or 3.14.18 that added support.

Oh, thank you. My exact version Facter on Vagrant VM is 3.14.1 . Then maybe you know why get_facts.sh script install Facter 3.14.1 instead 3.14.18 ?

Given the PR you've submitted, have you figured it out?
