Hello list,
I've built an environment-modules based gcc-5.3.1 for RHEL6 that lives
side-by-side with vendor packages - it installs to /opt/ and has a
name{version} scheme to avoid conflicts, which I'd like to include in EPEL6.
In accordance with the guidelines (
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/EPEL/GuidelinesAndPolicies#Still_unsure_if...)
I'm asking here if this is appropriate or, if not, how can I modify it so
gcc-5 can make it into EPEL.
I can provide a working srpm for both binutils2.26 and gcc5.3.1 (the
binutils is required, and also builds to /opt and enabled via modules).
devtoolset 4 provides gcc 5.2 and is probably a more "standard" way to
accomplish what I believe you're aiming for.
