Add CentOS 6 support

[arm4b]

StackStorm works on CentOS 6, there are instructions: https://docs.stackstorm.com/install/rhel6.html

It's probably low priority to verify if cookbook requires any changes to work with CentOS 6 + kitchen.yml.

Was already working on a PR for this over the weekend actually :)

Awesome!

Looks like this actually will not work without some tweeking on the stackstorm cookbook side. The rabbitmq cookbook does not support centos 6 since the version it installs requires a newer version of erlang than is in the el6 repo's.

       Recipe: rabbitmq::default
         * yum_package[socat] action install
           - install version 1.7.2.3-1.el6 of package socat
         * remote_file[/tmp/kitchen/cache/rabbitmq-server-3.6.1-1.noarch.rpm] action create_if_missing
           - create new file /tmp/kitchen/cache/rabbitmq-server-3.6.1-1.noarch.rpm
           - update content in file /tmp/kitchen/cache/rabbitmq-server-3.6.1-1.noarch.rpm from none to b68895
           (new content is binary, diff output suppressed)
           - restore selinux security context
         * rpm_package[/tmp/kitchen/cache/rabbitmq-server-3.6.1-1.noarch.rpm] action install

Wasn't expecting something friendly from anything related to EL6 :smile:

true story

[shortdudey123]

@armab do we still want this considering it will take some customization to get it to work? personally, i would say its probably not worth it

[arm4b]

@shortdudey123 Yeah, I agree with you.

Let's just keep this Issue for informational purposes. If someone needs CentOS6 / RHEL6, we're open to PR contribution :)

[shortdudey123]

cool, going to close for now then

[arm4b]

I mean, let's keep it open for Informational purposes :) Eg. it's a good thing to add, but doesn't look like a big priority or significance for now.
