When Scientific Linux started building the Software Collection Library

and Developer Toolset, these packages were not freely distributed.



The upstream packages and more can now be obtained from 

softwarecollections.org.



With this in mind, we will be discontinuing the Scientific Linux 

Software Collections.  As a part of this process we will:

- archive the existing RPMS

- provide a new yum-conf-softwarecollections which points to the 

SoftwareCollections.org repo



The new yum-conf-softwarecollections rpms are available now.



Users of the yum-conf-softwarecollections rpms can upgrade to the latest 

version by running 'yum update yum-conf-softwarecollections'.



Archiving the Scientific Linux Software Collections is scheduled for Nov 

28 2016.
