This announcement only affects the Software Collection Library, not Software Collections the packaging technology.

The upstream release of Software Collection Library has always been for x86_64 only. However, the 1.0 release built nicely for i686 and we published the packages.

With the upstream release of Software Collection Library 1.1, we've begun building packages as before. However, several of the RPMs do not build cleanly - or even at all - for the i686 platform.

Since we will be unable to continue security updates for all i686 packages, we plan to archive the i686 release of Software Collection Library 1.0. The x86_64 branch will not be effected by this change.

We plan to continue building the x86_64 tree as before.

The i686 packages will be placed in http://ftp.scientificlinux.org/linux/scientific/6x/archive/obsolete/ for historical usage.

We apologize for this inconvenience,

Pat
