Q:
Do you understand the purpose of RHSCL PR EPEL? ;)
You want RHEL, but neither RHSCL nor EPEL is it, nor designed to be it.
That's why I said ...
EPEL's ideal aimpoint, when feasible, should be like RHSCL. ;)
SCL is for parallel installable packages that already exist in the system
(i.e. newer versions of gcc/Postgres/Python/etc). Some EPEL packages also
provide that sort of thing (like the old cmake28 packages), but I don't
believe that EPEL as a whole is aiming to do that more than just provide
packages that aren't available in EL.
