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.
