EPEL and SCL
Hi,
RHSCL 1.0 is GA since September.
RHSCL 1.1 Beta is released today:
http://developerblog.redhat.com/2014/03/20/rhscl-1-1-beta-available-apach...
As EPEL is the common repository to find additional packages for RHEL, I
really think it should also be possible to provide additional packages
for RHSCL.
For now the Fedora Guidelines are still under discussion.
Most of the discussion is about the tree layout (/var, /etc/, ...).
This Guidelines will probably need more work/time before approval :(
Of course, if some "new" SCL (new, as not in upstream product) will come
to EPEL, it will have to follow the same Guidelines.
But, for additional packages for existing collections (I mean extending
RHSCL), thinks can be simpler. We only have to use the tree as defined
in the RHSCL collection (in the meta-package).
I really hope we can find some solution.
Of course, we need to ensure, with rel-eng, that we are able to build
those packages.
So, time to raise the discussion.
Remi.
P.S. you will notice that whatever we decide, things will happen (and
have already start), we just need to know if we want to see this in EPEL
or outside.
