We have Software Collections for CentOS currently in our testing repo:
http://dev.centos.org/centos/6/SCL/
To date I don't think I have gotten any feedback, positive or negative, for these SCL RPMs though I know there are hundreds of people using them (or at least downloading them).
I have added the following SCL updates to the repo:
Critical: ruby193-ruby security update: http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2013-1763.html
Important: ruby193-rubygem-actionpack security update: http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2013-1794.html
Critical: php security update: http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2013-1815.html
If we are ever going to get these out of testing and into production, we need to get some feedback. Feedback accepted on this list, the centos-devel mailing list, or this bug:

Thanks, Johnny Hughes
Hi Johnny,
I've been using SCL for some testing for a little while now.
I haven't really gotten around to posting a message regarding it due to it was just working and I proceeded to do some work with it :-).
Sorry about that.
I've not experienced any issues with the repository so far, and I'm guessing since there is not a load of people emailing saying "It doesn't work" other people aren't having issues either, but I could be wrong.
Though I myself have only used the mariadb packages and various php packages.
Out of curiosity, once it is deemed "stable" how do you intend to provide the extra packages? will they be included with a default install in a separate repository? or will they become part of base? extras?
Just curious :-).
Additionally, I would like to say Thank You for providing these packages :-).
Thanks!
