shoal-agent on EL7

[rptaylor]

I thought shoal-agent was supported on EL7. However I followed these instructions exactly on Centos7.1 and encountered a problem:

[centos@shoal-test ~]$ cat /etc/redhat-release 
CentOS Linux release 7.1.1503 (Core) 
[centos@shoal-test ~]$ sudo yum install shoal-agent

 You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
 You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest

@colsond @igable any ideas?

I suggest following the instructions on the wiki for building the rpms here: https://github.com/hep-gc/shoal/wiki/Building-Shoal-RPMs

I tested them extensively on SL6 and CENTOS7 images while I was there."

I have built and tested the shoal-agent rpm for centos 7. It is available for install from http://shoal.heprc.uvic.ca/repo/dev/ along with the required dependencies. Installing using yum on centos 7.1 has been tested and works.
