[BRLTTY] Brltty 6 and Centos 7

[Keith Wessel]

Hi, Adrian,

Thanks for confirming that I could build the SRPMs on Centos 7. I figured
that would work, and I was keeping this in mind as plan B but thought I
would first ask about the binary RPMs: what distro they were in fact
intended for and if there's a way to get them working on Centos 7. Given the
glibc version, I assumed no but figured it couldn't hurt to ask.

Keith

Hi Keith,
gI run CentOS 7.6 myself, I took the source of brltty 6.0 and compiled it
myself without any problems.
