Hi all.
I newly received a request to “rebuild” SCons on EPEL8 but i have not any way to control SCons package in CentOS-8 stream, still stopped to the release 3.1.2.
How we can contact who controls CentOS’s scons rpms releases and find a solution?
- Is this a candidate for an epel-only package? e.g.
python3.12-scons - Does its version have to match the version of SCons already available in CRB?
Least action would be to either file the issue in Red Hat’s JIRA (and link the corresponding issue number in both directions) or ask the submitter to do that instead.
IIRC scons will assume the Python version is the one used to run it, so it might be worthwhile having a different scons for EL8’s alternate Python 3.12 stack - but then it’s a new package and someone who really wants it can do the work, it does not have to be the existing SCons maintainers.
SCons has been also removed in rhel-9+ streams: https://issues.redhat.com/browse/CS-727?jql=text%20~%20"scons"
