[Avocado-devel] What is a right way to install avocado?

[Andrei Stepanov]

When I add https://repos-avocadoproject.rhcloud.com/static/avocado-el.repo
to RHEL6 I get:

https://repos-avocadoproject.rhcloud.com/static/epel-6Workstation-noarch/repodata/repomd.xml:
[Errno 14] PYCURL ERROR 22 - "The requested URL returned error: 404 Not
Found"
