No version published yet, version 7.2.0-dev is still under development, but I think it is useful to be able to start testing.
RPM of this upcoming version of PHP 7.2, are available in remi repository for Fedora 24, 25, 26 and Enterprise Linux 6, 7 (RHEL, CentOS, …) in a fresh new Software Collection (php72) allowing its installation beside the system version.
As I strongly believe in SCL potential to provide a simple way to allow installation of various versions simultaneously, and as I think it is useful to offer this feature to allow developers to test their applications, to allow sysadmin to prepare a migration or simply to use this version for some specific application, I decide to create this new SCL.
I will have the honor to share the Release Manager rôle for this version with Sara Golemon.
I also plan to propose this new version as a Fedora 27 change.
the FPM service (php72-php-fpm) is available, it listens on default port 9000, so you have to change the configuration if you want to use various FPM services simultaneously.
the php72 command give a simple access to this new version, however the scl command is still the recommended way (or the module command).
only x86_64, no plan for other arch.
Also read other entries about SCL. especially description of my My PHP workstation.
As always, your feedback is welcome, a SCL dedicated forum is open.
