Topic: upgrade fedora24 from remi PHP 7.0.10 to PHP 7.1 Alpha

Hiya,

I'm using a VM to cross check a project (run unit tests etc) on Linux. I have dropped CentOS 7 already because the versions in its repositories were too old (not only for PHP, but also GCC and CMake).

I have moved to Fedora 24, which is working well for most packages. However, the project suddenly requires not only PHP 7 but PHP 7.1. I installed PHP 7.0.10 from the Remi repo before, here are the installed packages with remi in the name:

(it thinks the packages are URLs and won't let me post them. Please request and I'll put them in a paste bin somewhere. remi-release version is 24-2 for fc24.)

My question is how to upgrade this machine. For example, do I need to upgrade the

remi-release

package before it will work?

I have tried the instructions at http://blog.remirepo.net/post/2016/06/1 … ollection, but

dnf install php71

just says that it doesn't know that package name - so I assume I must install or upgrade some other package repo.

Thanks.

Thank you, I'm not sure why I didn't see that before!

For future reference, I only needed to do:

 dnf config-manager --set-enabled remi-php71
dnf update

and it upgraded the existing PHP to the release candidate 7.1.
