Just from a technical POV (not taken into account if we allow that in Fedora/EPEL/whereever) -- a common use case now is that if some package depends on some software collection, this package either is build in the same or in a depended software collection. However, there are and will be cases where somebody would like to create a non-SCL RPM depended on a software collection, which is something not solved properly yet and the solution might be quite different from collection to collection. 16:47:43 <Evolution> smooge: where's the upstream for scls? 16:47:51 <Evolution> it's damned sure not softwarecollections.org 16:47:52 <smooge> softwarecollections.org I believe 16:48:07 <Evolution> it *should* be that, but it's not. (http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/epel/2014-09-05/epel-weeklym-meeting-201...) For the tooling (scl-utils), the upstream is at https://fedorahosted.org/SoftwareCollections For the collections packages (packages with scl macros defined) the upstream indeed is supposed to be at softwarecollections.org but I must admit we are not there yet (it's quite fresh project) -- there are still pieces missing like RPM sources in git, bug tracking or active development ahead of already released RHSCL. But there is definitely not any other upstream url. Cheers, Honza
