[katello-devel] State of R19R and Katello

[Lukas Zapletal]

So Katello now starts on SCL RHEL6 stack and also does work!

You can start it using the commands bellow.

Even thin is ready, so you can modify the startup script to use SCL for
thin and try it with Apache httpd.

While Mirek is working on Foreman SCL migration, I want to modify our
SPEC file to use SCL dependencies.
