Amazon AMI Installation/Initialization Issue

[jrnt30]

Currently the installation of the server does not work properly on the AWS Linux AMI due to the preinstall.pp's usage of $::operatingsystemrelease.

Using the 2013.09 AMI, running

facter operatingsystem operatingsystemrelease

returns

operatingsystem => Amazon
operatingsystemrelease => 3.4.73-64.112.amzn1.x86_64

This results in the URL and GPG keys defaulting to the "Fail" option. After this, the "yum install" resorts back to the default EPEL repo, which has the 2.4.10 version of redis-server installed and ends up failing on the "service redis start" command due to a configuration issue.

My apologies for the delay.
I've noticed you fixed this yourself so I've merged your changes upstream: #12.

So... thanks for reporting and fixing too. 👍

Just as a warning, the latest feature of Facter the last time I checked has modified their functionality for Amazon Linux once again. My comment on FACT-672 outlines this
