Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4 Released

For PHP, you'd want to use IUS instead: https://dl.iuscommunity.org/pub/ius/stable/CentOS/7/x86_64/r...

Source repo: https://github.com/iuscommunity-pkg/php71u

For security reasons, I'm directly building the packages from Git. Works like a charm, and I don't have to include many different third party repos or introduce additional security dependencies.

Generally, Red Hat backports security fixes without incrementing the version number (though that doesn't seem to be the case here).

How does this compare to remi's repos ?

Personally I prefer remi because package names are kept the same, making it easier to upgrade. With IUS, the version is part of the package name (i.e. "yum install php71"), which tends to make maintenance and configuration messier.
