Providing newer versions of apps is only one feature of SCL. The killer feature of SCL is to have multiple versions of apps installed *simultaneously*. For a multi user Linux host, this is a requirement, and modularity is not a replacement for SCL. When you have thousands of users, it’s not a choice of GCC 9 or 10, the requirement is GCC 9 *and* 10. > [1] as I think SCL, allowing multiple versions to be installed > simultaneously, is a great feature, very valuable for dev For many customers, including us, allowing multiple versions to be installed simultaneously is a requirement for production. Modularity is great for what it does, but it is *not* a replacement for SCL, unless it can allow for multiple versions of a package to be installed simultaneously. We need modularity AND SCL. _______________________________________________ SCLorg mailing list SCLorg@redhat.com https://listman.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/sclorg
