Description of problem: When I first faced 'scl' I did not know what to do with it. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): scl-utils-20120209-1.el5 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. scl --help 2. scl 3. man scl Actual results: Usage: scl <action> [<collection1>, <collection2> ...] <command> If <command> is '-' then the command will be read from standard input. Usage: scl <action> [<collection1>, <collection2> ...] <command> If <command> is '-' then the command will be read from standard input. No manual entry for scl Expected results: <action> can be for actually installed packages: enable <collection> list from /etc/scl/prefixes/ is: devtoolset-1.0 And some real man page describing /etc/scl/prefixes/ etc. Why is it a binary? Wouldn't a script be simple enough and readable by user? Additional info: Best there should be also: /etc/bash_completion.d/scl
Created attachment 610094 [details] Proposed patch for the scl utility
It looks better now, thanks. I would moreover suggest: -l, --list list installed Software Collections or packages that belong to them -> -l, --list list installed Software Collections -l, --list <collection> list packages belonging to <collection>
Ok, added a similar variant to upstream with separate helper function as proposed.
