I've already installed devtools-1.1 from Tru Huynh. http://people.centos.org/tru/devtools-1.1/ Thank You Tru. gcc 4.7.2 is so much newer than stock 4.4.7. (much better C++11 support) Why is devtools-1.1 not officially part of CentOS SCL? I know devtools-2.0 still has issues but 1.1 would bring us on par with Debian 7.0. http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/Repositories/SCL
