[syslog-ng] RPM packages from git HEAD

[Evan Rempel]

I would argue that RHEL 6 is old. The support life cycle for RHEL 6 is until 2020. In the enterprise environments, I can see RHEL 6 being used in production environments for the next three years. Of course, I can't imagine anyone running a git head snapshot build in a production environment.

Evan.
