I've been using devtoolset (one of RedHat's SCLs, I think the first one) for almost two years. It provides the latest GCC and other tools for developers. Using it on RHEL 5 gives well optimized and portable binaries (glibc is backward compatible).
It's fantastic that RedHat provides RPMs with the latest tools for older systems.
Regarding the scl tool itself from user's perspective, it's a step back from Environment Modules that has been around for 20+ years. Some admins even replace the scl command (which just sets a couple of env. variables) with modules. |
