PHP version 7.0 in Fedora 25

For memory, this is the result of lot of work, started more than 1 year ago:

March 2015: php 7.0 as Software Collection available as SCL since early alpha versions July 2015: PHP on the road to the 7.0.0 release available as SCL and base packages (newremi-php70 repository) since beta versions December 2015: PHP version 7.0.0 is released! ! available since officially released February 2016: Install PHP 7 on CentOS, RHEL or Fedora a quick installation guide, as documentation also matters

And since, each minor release have been published in the repository on upstream announcement day.

Since yesterday, PHP version 7.0.8 is the version available in Fedora rawhide . It will be used forPHP stack QA.

Notice, removed extensions and packages:

php-ereg php-mssql php-mysql php-pecl-jsonc (but php-json is back) php-pecl-mongo (php-pecl-mongodb is under review) php-pecl-xhprof php-pecl-mysqlnd-ms php-pecl-mysqlnd-qc php-xcache

Some others will probably be removed later by their owner. For now, all compatible extensions have been updated: amqp, apcu, apfd, event, fann, geoip, gmagick, http, lorde_lz4, igbinary, json_post, libsodium, libvirt, lzf, mailparse, memcache, memcached, msgpack, oauth, pq, propro, raphf, redis, rrd, selinux, smbclient, solr2, ssdeep, ssh2, twig, uuid, xattr, xdebug, xmldiff, yac, yaml, zip, zmq.

Now, we have to manage and fix all the problems detected by Koschei in the php group .

And of course, I have already start working onPHP 7.1 which will probably be proposed for Fedora 26 .

So things happen here first, in remi repository , which is used as upstream for Fedora and later for RHEL and CentOS.

Great thanks to my employer, and to everyone using my packages, and helping me to make this possible.
