Oracle Linux: Warning about multiple default providers

[housemasterkrause]

We are using the posix_acl module on some Oracle Linux 7 Servers.
Oracle Linux is binary compatible to RedHat Enterprise Linux or CentOS.

When i start puppet, i get the following warning message from posix_acl module:
Info: Using configured environment 'XXXX' Info: Retrieving pluginfacts Info: Retrieving plugin Info: Retrieving locales Info: Loading facts Warning: Found multiple default providers for posix_acl: genericacl, posixacl; using genericacl Info: Caching catalog for XXXX Info: Applying configuration version '1623935894' Notice: Applied catalog in 19.77 seconds

I also set the correct provider in the puppet code where i wanna use posix_acl:
posix_acl { 'XXX': provider => posixacl, action => set, permission => [ "XXX" ], require => [ User['XXX'], ], recursive => true, }

How can i resolve this warning about the multiple default providers and force the module to use posic_acl?

Or can this warning be ignored cause i set the correct provider within the puppet code?

Maybe also a bug with using posix_acl on a Oracle Linux Machine.

Thanks in advance!

It doesn't select the correct default because the OS is not listed here:

puppet-posix_acl/lib/puppet/provider/posix_acl/posixacl.rb

Line 13 in b8f2673

defaultfor operatingsystem: [:debian, :ubuntu, :redhat, :centos, :fedora, :sles, :gentoo]

Perhaps it should move to OS families instead.

Is there a possibillity to fix this problem with a newer version of the script?
Than we can use it on Oracle Linux without warnings.

Thanks!

You can submit a patch that changes it to defaultfor osfamily: [:debian, :redhat, :suse, gentoo] which I think would make it work for all RedHat-derived OSes.
