[Owncloud] owncloud-client RPM for RHEL

[Daniel Molkentin]

Hi Jakub,

just as a heads-up: We are about to drop support for Desktop platforms with Qt 4.6 for the ownCloud client, since it limits us considerably. This affects Debian 6 and RHEL/CentOS 6. For Debian it's not a problem, since Debian 7 will hopefully declared stable soon, but I see no such remedy for RHEL, since RedHat probably won't update Qt within the RHEL lifecycle. This means that in order to keep RHEL 6 supported, we would need to find some way to ship Qt 4.8 along.

Is there a significant amount of people using RHEL/CentOS on the client side?

Daniel
