<div class="moz-cite-prefix">Hi Noah. Red Hat offers no support in
any way for CentOS. CentOS is a community supported distro. Red
Hat offers Red Hat Enterprise Linux with a number of support SLAs
for development, test, and production usage. Red Hat builds
Docker images from our RHSCL collections and makes those images
available to subscribers in our Registry with full Red Hat
support. I don't want to make a product plug on this list but it
is important to understand that Red Hat develops, tests, and
supports Red Hat Enterprise Linux and that CentOS is supported
only by the CentOS community, not Red Hat.<br>

<pre wrap="">I've found shocking few people care about official RH support for stuff like this but I'm probably looking at a self-selecting group since the more conservative folks probably don't use Chef :-) I'll make sure to note in the docs that SCLo recompiles are not covered under RH support though. I could do a similar backend for my installers that uses RHSCL but I would need to work out a way to test it. Do any of the RH folks on the list know if y'all offer subscription-y access for compat testing? I would still have to build the Docker image myself but that seems doable, if somewhat frustrating.

Well, I've been pointed to the fact that on RHEL the only supported set of RHSCL packages are those that are available in the RHSCL channel, as part of the subscriptions, so we shouldn't suggest using CentOS packages on RHEL. I'm sorry for giving wrong directions previously, but we want to make sure users are using only properly tested and supported packages on RHEL platform.
Thanks for understanding,

possible to install the CentOS repos with SCLs by following steps in:

Please, let me know whether this will work for you.

<pre wrap="">Hi Honza,
Just so you know that we have a RHEL license that doesn't allow/enable
us to have access to the RHSCL channel. So it would be useful to allow
access to the centos packages.
Many Thanks

<pre wrap="">Hi Noah,
thank you for reporting, the issue with wrong redirection link was
caused by mistake and we're already fixing the redirection, so the old
links will work again soon.
Now, for the question about supported CentOS and RHSCL builds -- we're
now working on updating information for all the collections on
softwarecollections.org, so they all should soon say generally this:
For getting the CentOS builds you are expected to use:
yum install centos-release-scl-rh
For RHEL builds you are expected to use builds from Red Hat:
yum-config-manager --enable rhel-server-rhscl-7-rpms
(this information is now added to
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/scls/rhscl/python27/">https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/scls/rhscl/python27/</a> and will
be soon added to other collections as well)
If you have any use case to use CentOS builds from
softwarecollections.org on RHEL, I'd like to know it, since my
understanding is that every RHEL machine should be fine with using
packages from rhel-server-rhscl-7-rpms channel.
Thanks,
Honza

On its own this is kind of super uncool, but deeper than that is that
it seems the Correct™ way to get the repos installed is to use `yum
install centos-release-scl-rh` now. As expected from the name, this
doesn't work on RHEL as that package isn't available outside of
CentOS's repos. Is softwarecollections.org dropping RHEL support? And
if so, what's the RHEL-official way to get things like Python 3 or
Ruby 2 on RHEL 6/7? I'm happy to fix the Chef cookbooks to work
whatever way is deemed official, but it seems like the RHEL and
CentOS SCL folks are operating on entirely different wavelengths.
Should I use softwarecollections .org for Cen!
