RAET Transport NOT work under CentOS6

[耳东]

Hi,

This problem was existed under salt release 2016.3.4 ~ 2016.11.0 for a long time.

Is RAET Transport still under maintaining for CentOS6?

There is NO testing for CentOS6 or RAET Transport would be deprecated ?

I have meet the same problem in the github issue : https://github.com/saltstack/raet/issues/67

python-raet-0.6.3-2.el6.noarch package NOT update salt 2016.11.0 under CentOS 6.

I have install the last salt 2016.11.0 with RAET enabled.

# rpm -qa|egrep -i 'salt|raet|ioflo'
salt-master-2016.11.0-1.el6.noarch
python-ioflo-1.3.8-1.el6.noarch
python-raet-0.6.3-2.el6.noarch
salt-2016.11.0-1.el6.noarch
salt-repo-latest-1.el6.noarch

salt-master service failed started with the same error log :
