Recently, I've been participating in some discussion as to how

enable C++11 support for EPEL builds. Specifically, R (and its large
universe of addons in CRAN) would benefit significantly from C++11
support.
After much discussion, it seems like the only sane way to do this is
to use the Red Hat Developer Toolset (for el6 and el7). It is my
understanding that all RHEL customers (and CentOS users) should be
able to enable this repository without restrictions.
I'd like to propose that we enable the Developer Toolset repo in EPEL
and allow packages to depend on it. Thoughts?
So, this is a SCL of newer tools right?
Does this result in a runtime dependency? Or just a build time one?
ie, will everyone using packages built with this have to install it
also, or it's just a buildrequires?
