You install scl-utils and meta-package (in my case we are using ruby
1.9.3 on el6 - it is named ruby193).

And then:
# ruby --version
ruby 1.8.7 (2011-06-30 patchlevel 352) [x86_64-linux]
# scl enable ruby193 "ruby --version"
ruby 1.9.3p327 (2012-11-10 revision 37606) [x86_64-linux]

"scl enable foo" will (beside few other things) the script
/opt/rh/ruby193/enable
which is very short and contains:
export PATH=/opt/rh/ruby193/root/usr/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/rh/ruby193/root/usr/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export MANPATH=/opt/rh/ruby193/root/usr/share/man:$MANPATH


Are these scripts generated by SCL or should I provide them ?


This allows you to install ruby193 packages into something which looks
like chroot in /opt/rh/ruby193/root, but it actually is not chroot. It
is just preferred path. And allows you to use libraries from base
operating system.


Can the paths be customized ? E.G. removing the 'root' directory, or setting it to something else ?

SCL is in its core environment modules (EM). The difference is that EM
modify you current shell, but SCL start new shell.


Can this behavior be modified ? Can SCL modify my current shell ?


SCL allows you to easy convert your spec files to SCL spec files (man
spec2scl) with just very few changes. For example when you install
ruby193-build and scl-utils-build, then %{_bindir} is evaluated to:
/opt/rh/ruby193/root/usr/bin

I can do the same thing by modifying %_prefix in ~/.rpmrc , right ? ;)
