Hi all.

What's wrong?

$ fedpkg clone scons
$ pushd scons
$ fedpkg request-branch epel8
Could not execute request_branch: This package is already an EL package
and is built on all supported arches, therefore, it cannot be in EPEL.
If this is a mistake or you have an exception, please contact the
Release Engineering team.

That error means that RHEL-8 has that package src.rpm already in its set of shipped packages

Description :
SCons is an Open Source software construction tool--that is, a build
tool; an improved substitute for the classic Make utility; a better way
to build software. SCons is based on the design which won the Software
Carpentry build tool design competition in August 2000.
