Are you simply saying that you're not going to care for the issue
making
2 SCL that depends on different version of Ruby simply not
installable
in parallel ?
Or are you saying that the SCL will be confined in its own 'root' so
they will not conflict ?
I don't think I fully understand your question here. Every SCL is confined in its own
root under /opt/.../name/root. So you can either do two SCLs, each with different Ruby
version; one SCL with version different then what's in the system; or place both
versions into the system, where I see the significant maintenance burden. The last option
is the only currently possible in Fedora, but Ruby-SIG is not going to do that.
Does that answer it?
Simo.
