[ovirt-users] virt-viewer disabling rhel6

[Lev Veyde]

Hi Cam,

The reason why it works in RHEL 6.7 clients is due to the fact that version
of virt-viewer that is supplied with it, doesn't support the mechanism to
check for the minimum required version.

Wasn't aware we can modify the versions we require through
RemoteViewerSupportedVersions config. Michal - thanks for the hint.

Thanks in advance,
