I decided to add Darwin support while I was cleaning stuff up and found that the logic used in the current ipaddress fact code didn’t work for ipv6 in Darwin so I am just going to rewrite things.

Cody I assume this is on your ipv6 branch on your github account PSU-TheCat

I’d really like to discuss the design on list before you get much further – can you submit what you have to list via mail_patches as discussed in the development lifecycle page.

Actually I am now using my personal github account for this. So http://github.com/ody/facter/tree/feature/3502. I will ship patches out now to the dev list. I only had time to do the little bit that was the Darwin section when I got torn away by work so everything is pretty much still old code. If I could I would delete the links from my original ticket.
