I'm trying to get ticket #0010838 fixed[1] which would allow centos-release-scl (and -rh) to be used unaltered on RHEL to access the SCLo SIG's repositories. Not all RHELs have the upstream RHSCL repos, and there are additional collections published by the SIG that are useful.

In the Foreman project I'd like to mirror this RPM to provide centos-release-scl for all EL users during installation to get access to SCLo builds and rebuilds. I'm aware of the RHEL centos-release-sclo builds in Copr[2], but they remove centos-release-rh and I'm trying to ensure the same RPMs can be used on all EL builds.

The baseurl in the package is http://mirror.centos.org/centos/$releasever/sclo/$basearch/sclo/, which on RHEL Server expands to .../centos/7Server/sclo/. Only the "7" directory exists on the mirror.

Either the mirror could contain symlinks for 7Server -> 7, or the release repo file[3] could be built with the URL hardcoded without using $releasever, which was suggested in today's CBS IRC meeting.

Does anybody have any strong preference? If not, I'd like to suggest we change the release repo file.
