Is this valid? I always thought operatingsystemrelease had to match the operatingsystemrelease fact that Facter returned.

Edit: though it probably closer matches operatingsystemmajrelease

sorry @ekohl, was not able to get much from your comment but I always went with https://github.com/puppetlabs/puppet_litmus/blob/main/exe/matrix_from_metadata_v2#L153 and based on that its expecting operatingsystemrelease.

[ekohl]

I think the spec is more important than what Litmus does. https://www.puppet.com/docs/puppet/7/modules_metadata.html#metadata-operating-system states:

The operatingsystemrelease accepts an array of strings. The Forge displays these versions on module pages, and you can format them in whatever way makes sense for the operating system in question.

So that's not very specific, but it is important to note that the forge will list them. As a user I could think that only RHEL 9 supports ARM, but not RHEL 8 etc. That can be considered misleading.

I always interpreted it that the values it for operatingsystemrelease in metadata.json should match what Facter returned for operatingsystemrelease or operatingsystemmajrelease (or nowadays their modern equivalents).

[Ramesh7]

got it now, thanks for explanation. I will check with Agent team about factor values for operatingsystemrelease or operatingsystemmajrelease and will update here.
Thanks @ekohl again!!

Looks like @jordanbreen28 already handled this into litmus and we don't need this PR anymore.
Hence closing.
