Fedora, RHEL, and CentOS provide support for multiple versions of the same software components using Software Collections. This patch lists the active collections in a similar manner to Python virtualenvs.

Nice! |

Another article about Software Collections : http://developerblog.redhat.com/2013/09/17/shared-dev-rhscl/ This is definitely a feature I will merge as soon as I get tuits. |

The always elusive tuits, I'm forever running out of the round ones... Speaking of which I'll be mainly offline for the next few weeks with some work issues so I may be very slow to respond to any merge fixes that may need to be done. |

Don't worry, I just cherry-picked your patch! Thanks! |

Fedora, RHEL, and CentOS have support for parallel installations of versions of software components such as python, perl, mariadb, etc. One of the common ways to enable the use of a particular collection is to execute a bash shell from the invocation line. That invocation looks like:
The software collection then sets an environment variable that is a white space separated list of all enabled collections
An example of an enabled software collection in a python virtualenv in a git repo:
The software collections website has more information about the implementation of the software.
