Based on feedback from Luke, the facts.d directory should at least match
the directory that will be used by Facter 2.0.
Reading #2157 I believe the Facter 2.0 facts.d feature is reasonably API
compatible with this custom fact from R.I. so I'm comfortable using the
same filesystem path.
Change in behavior: Now look for facts in:
* /etc/facter/facts.d
* /etc/puppetlabs/facter/facts.d
This fact is a direct copy of R.I.'s work at
https://github.com/ripienaar/facter-facts
This is necessary plumbing to allow the installer to write a simple text
file based on the role the node is receiving. For example:
$ cat /etc/puppetlabs/facts.d/puppet_enterprise_mcollective.txt
fact_stomp_port=61613
fact_stomp_server=puppetmaster
fact_is_puppetagent=true
fact_is_puppetmaster=true
The mcollectivepe module relies on these facts being set and we need a
persistent place to write them during the interview process and later
read them when puppet agent runs to configure MCollective on the agent
systems.
Since stdlib is a public module, both /etc/facts.d and
/etc/puppetlabs/facts.d are scanned for static facts.
