Description

In the section "Add the Rudder packages repository", the following does not work on Red Hat distros, only on CentOS:
-----------------------------
echo '[Rudder_4.1]
name=Rudder 4.1 EL repository
baseurl=http://www.rudder-project.org/rpm-4.1/RHEL_$releasever/
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://www.rudder-project.org/rpm-4.1/RHEL_$releasever/repodata/repomd.xml.key' > /etc/yum.repos.d/rudder.repo
-----------------------------

The reason is that on RHEL, the variable "$releasever" does not have the value of a single number such as 6 or 7. It actually has values of "6Server" or "7Server".

To resolve this I suppose you can create repo URLs that takes care of these variants.

We need redirections in our repos for these URLs, thanks for reporting!

We added redirect from the RHEL URLs, does it work for you now?

Yes, thank you! I can confirm that this works on RHEL 6 and RHEL 7 (and I assume based upon the URL that it should work on RHEL 5 as well).
