Description Miroslav Suchý 2013-03-21 09:10:03 UTC

Description of problem:
scl has syntax:
  scl <action> [<collection1> <collection2> ...] <command>
So only last param is evaluated as command.

Now imagine real life situation of porting application to SC. I have command in init.d script:
THIN="/usr/bin/thin"
$THIN start --user foreman --environment production --group foreman --config /etc/foreman/thin.yml --rackup /usr/share/foreman/config.ru

I can easily replace THIN in %build phase of spec file. So I will get
THIN="scl enable ruby193"
But then the command is evaluated to:
scl enable ruby193 thin start --user foreman --environment production --group foreman --config /etc/foreman/thin.yml --rackup /usr/share/foreman/config.ru
But that means that "thin" and "start" etc. are treated as collection names.
Resulting in error:
Unable to open /etc/scl/prefixes/thin!

I learn that I have to run
scl enable ruby193 'thin start --user foreman --environment production --group foreman --config /etc/foreman/thin.yml --rackup /usr/share/foreman/config.ru'
But this is much harder to do automatically.

Life would be much easier if scl would have some delimiter. I.e. if the syntax would be:
 scl <action> [<collection1> <collection2> ...] [--] <command>
So I can write something like
 scl enable ruby193 -- echo ahoj
Where everything after "--" would be taken as command.
