[users] scons for x86_64

[Germán Andrés Pulido]

Hi!

It seems there is no package "scons" for 64 bits, but there is for 32 bits:

?Hi!

It's certainly available from EPEL, in version 2.0.1. I don't see it
available on the local RPMforge mirror in i386 or x86_64 form, which
would explain why you are having difficulty finding it for
installation.

Hi!

Thanks for the report!

https://github.com/repoforge/rpms/issues/44

[Dag Wieers]

scons 1.2.0 is a noarch package and as a consequence it is in both 32bit
and 64bit repositories.

If you are reporting this for RHEL6, you may be confused about the fact
that it is part of Repoforge Extras. Probably you have Extras enable on
32bit, but not on 64bit.

That said, since a newer scons (2.0.1) ships with RHEL6, there's no need
for us to maintain this package for RHEL6. Not sure why it's not simply
disabled for RHEL6.

I'm reporting this on CentOS 6.0. Since RHEL has scons, then I don't
know why CentOS doesn't. Maybe it was included only since RHEL 6.1? if
so, then I will just wait for CentOS 6.1 and get scons. If not, please
tell me so I can report a bug on CentOS bug tracker (RHEL having scons
by default and not CentOS is a bug AFAIK)

Or switch to Scientific Linux, which has had its 6.1 release out since
July. The delays on CentOS releases, and their unwillingness or
inability to even hint at release dates or to publish individual
updates without the full new point released per their demanding
standards and pretty closed release process have become a very real
problem in using it as a RHEL equivalent: CentOS 5.6 and 6.0 took way,
way, way too long and left me professionally embarrassed for using
CentOS. I've switched to Scientificic Linux for my own personal
systems when I can't afford licenses, and it works very well.

The integration of 3rd party repositories such as adobe, elrepo, epel,
and rpmforge alone saves me enough work to justify the switch. It's
also pretty easy to do in place: Since "sl6" comes after "c6" in the
alphabet, simply replacing the "centos-release" package with the
"sl-release" package and running "yum update" update does most of the
difficult work.

This makes me think that probably the best way to go for us now is to
backport scons from RHEL6 to RHEL5- and give up on the old SPEC, because
it's just so horribly outdated and broken.

If memory is not cheating on me, I was the one to RFX it on RHEL6 just
to solve the immediate problem of it trying to overwrite the stock
package.

I will create an issue at Github so that I won't forget to get back to
this problem later.

Yes, seems reasonable. But that also means that we should track new RHEL6
packages and backport those too. We don't have any software to do
something like this. (we have more such packages that could take advantage
of this).
