facter fact selinux; WARNING: quoted boolean value found on line

[sheijmans]

selinux facter fact is true of false but Puppet still handles this a string [1], so this is somewhat incorrect to display the warning message.

This is a "bug" in Facter that will be addressed in Facter 2.x. The warning is still very correct as "true" != true.

In my opinion, the most correct thing to do in this situation would be to convert the output of facter to a proper boolean, that way upon release of Facter 2.x, your manifest will already be correct and won't require modification.

if str2bool($::selinux) == true {
  notify { 'selinux enabled': }
}

The str2bool function is available in the Puppet Labs stdlib module.
