If you have a build dependency on the SCL tools then you're obviously not building for EPEL,
Well, I'm building for people running EPEL, and I didn't see this isn't with packages that depend on anything scl. The scl stuff needs to be installed initially, e.g. in copr root parameters, if you're going to build scl packages at some stage.
(I don't understand why software collections aren't allowed so that more packages could be contributed.)
Inclusion of SCLs has been discussed several times and there's just never
been a way to make it work. If I recall correctly, Fedora still doesn't allow SCLs as well.
Which is a pity to a certain extent as it's the dependency issue of old php that will prevent an updated owncloud in EPEL6 now that I've looked into it more. We have to retire it there (though I may add a personal SCL based copr for it with the caveat I suggest people move to EL7).
