I've created a "scitech" FAS and COPR group for the SciTech SIG (https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:SciTech_SIG). My immediate goal is to create some common repositories for updated builds of scientific software for EL7 (& 6). My thought is to have a have common repository (https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/g/scitech/common/) for updated libraries, then individual repositories for updated programs like octave, julia, etc.
I wonder what other coprs already exist in this area? I'm sure there are some, but packages aren't easy to find in a search unless they're listed in the overview. As an example, there are are some updates for EPEL6 of varying quality in https://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/loveshack/livhpc/. Are there conventions to follow?
Is this limited updates, as opposed to new packages and stuff like kernel modules that can't go into the distribution? I think it would be useful to collect things in one place if they're reasonably solid. I think it would be more useful than what I've seen of http://openhpc.community (which potentially covers most of scitech, I guess).
