It's a separate repository, which CentOS rebuilds from Red Hat published content, much like the rest of CentOS. See https://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/SCL The command "yum install centos-release-scl" is your friend for access to the tools. A good look at the SRPM's over at http://vault.centos.org/ is invaluable for the build structure. Setting up "mock" to build them locally, I can ount you to some github repos that are helpful if you like. > -- > Thomas F Herbert > NFV and Fast Data Planes > Office of Technology > Red Hat > > _______________________________________________ > CentOS-devel mailing list > CentOS-devel at centos.org > https://lists.centos.org/mailman/listinfo/centos-devel >
