I've just open the remi-php71 repository for Fedora ≥ 23 and Enterprise Linux ≥ 6.
Current version is PHP 7.1.0beta1 with about 75 extensions which are already compatible.
This repository provides developement versions which are not suitable for production usage.
The repository configuration is provided by the latest version of the remi-release package:
- remi-release-23-4.fc23.remi
- remi-release-24-2.fc24.remi
- remi-release-6.8-1.el6.remi
- remi-release-7.2-1.el7.remi
As for other remi's repositories, it is disabled by default, so the update is an administrator choice.
E.g. to update the PHP system version:
yum --enablerepo=remi update remi-release yum --enablerepo=remi-php71 update php\*
As some extensions are not yet available, the update may fail, in this case you have to remove not yet compatible extensions, or wait for their update.
PHP 7.1 as Software Collection stay in "remi-safe" as there is no conflicts with the base packages.
