I'm curious about the section "Caching Ruby Facts" on this doc page... http://docs.puppetlabs.com/guides/custom_facts.html#configur[..]

Apparently this ability to assign a TTL value to a fact will be in place in
1.7.0.  I've looked through the Facter source and wiki though and find no
mention of 1.7.0 anywhere.  Just 1.6.X, 2.0.x, and future.  I'm wondering
if there really is going to be a 1.7.0 at some point?  Maybe when they get
tired of using 1.6.X numbers?  :)

Looks like these are the related issues....but they both say it's slated
for the 2.0.0 release. http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/2157 http://projects.puppetlabs.com/issues/4519

I'd really like to use this TTL feature...

Thanks,
Matt

Your confusion is understandable.

1.7.0 isn't out.  It is in the master branch for facter on github. We
had some plans on 1.7.0 earlier when the docs were being written, but
then found some incompatibilities in Puppet's usage of them.  Those
are getting resolved currently.  The plans are to have an RC on the
next series of facter in the 6 weeks or so.

You can also use Puppet Labs stdlib to get things like facts.d usage,
which is a nice feature. http://forge.puppetlabs.com/puppetlabs/stdlib
