SCL

Software Collections

Sofware collections - or SCL - is a collection of ‘add-on’ software packages created and maintained by Red Hat. They were created in order to deliver more up to date versions of software to customers on Red Hat Enterprise Linux which typically does not update software “mid-life” of a product. Via SCL Red Hat is able to provide more recent stable versions of software for customers to use without affecting the stability and security of the base product.

Due to our education licence all SCL software is available to users of our linux desktops. More information about all the available packages can be found on the dedicated software collections website.
