New scitech FAS and COPR group

[Orion Poplawski]

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'm starting off with a suitesparse44 package that is split into individual
libararies and can hopefully be installed in parallel with the system suitesparse.

Add yourself to https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/group/view/scitech if
you want to join the effort.

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).

Thanks!😀
