Are you fed up by enabling multiple collections, which are dependent on themselves? We were. For example, thermostat needs mongo, mongo needs v8. Enabling them looks like: scl enable thermostat1 mongodb24 v8314 bash There another reason to use dependent collections: when you are missing packages in a RHSCL collection and you want to add them. Obviously, we don't plan to package everything because some packages have high maintenance costs or they are changing too fast even for two or three...
In previous articles we mentioned tips on how to package collections, but we never wrote about initscripts, which are one reason why daemons are harder to package as a collection. I've picked a short(er) initscript to show what has to be modified if you want to run your initscript in a collection. Below is the diff between the mongodb initscript and collection version of the mongodb initscript. Currently, logfiles, pidfiles and configuration files are stored mostly as in the example...

Did you ever wish you had newer versions of the software on your Red Hat Enterprise Linux machines? You are probably not alone. Providing new versions of software in rpm is hard, because rpm supports only one version installed on your computer at a time. Multiple versions on one machine can conflict with each other or create unpredictable behaviour in applications that you might not have considered dependencies. Last year, we developed Software Collections to allow you to install newer...
