Since SCLs are distributed as RPMs, it's easy to wonder how they differ. While the installation and format are similar, there are a few important differences:
Yes. If you have an SCL that requires, say, MariaDB, it can depend on that Software Collection. If you're packaging your own SCLs, you can make use of other SCLs rather than having to re-package them within your own SCL.
For more information, see the Software Collections Packaging Guide.
It's not difficult at all. You only need to make minor changes to the spec file, no major surgery is needed on the existing packages. See the Software Collections Packaging Guide for more information.
We have a mailing list at sclorg@redhat.com (more info at https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/sclorg). You can also ask on StackOverflow using the software-collections tag.
