Looking at http://copr.fedoraproject.org/coprs/cottsay/rosrpm-poc/monitor/ which is I guess the copr repo mentionned here, I've got to ask, what does SCL bring you in this case compared to normal packages installing in the standard places? I do realize that's quite a number of packages but SCLs are not designed (at least as far as I understood it) to replace the process of adding packages that could be added in the fedora repo. I don't see any specific gcc, python, ruby that would make using SCLs sensible (as in the version provided by Fedora does not work/is too recent to build these packages). As a side note, I see RPMFusion is required for the build, so that will remain a no-go for Fedora, SCLs or not. Regards, Pierre
