This way lies madness.

You realize I’m going to cite you in defense the next time someone accuses me of a crazy hack?
So, uh, are you planning to actually release this?

There’s very little to release at the moment. It generally just works out of the box once you have all the Ruby runtime/OpenSSL etc installed.
The main problem is facter assumes that all versions of OS X have ’system_profiler’ available, which the phone doesn’t. I’m trying a few options here, but I’m not sure it’s worth patching facter upstream just to account for crazy hacks on the iPhone :)

That is fantastic. What a wonderful world.
Question, how does one get a shell in ones iphone like that? Have you hacked it? Or is it something that comes with the iphone SDK? Or am I just dumb?
Thanks

yep, that’s jail-broken, which is such an incredibly easy process now with apps like Pwnage to do it all for you.
No official terminal/ruby/puppet installations on the iPhone yet. :)

Just for the record, I’d totally accept that patch to Facter. :)
