The SCL's have their uses, but for EPEL? I think they'd add unnecessary complexity on an an unreliable developer codebase and be a really bad idea to rely on for EPEL componenents. RHEL 6 is at release 6.10, and should be treated as end-of-life. If the component were being embedded into the SCL, then it might make some sense to support. But as best I can tell zchunk has nothing to do with the SCL except for the gcc requirement. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to devel-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@lists.fedoraproject.org
