Good day, Nextcloud is an important software running in many production infrastructures. In discussion "Status of OwnCloud/NextCloud" [1], package maintainer said that Nextcloud will not be updated to newer versions because of old PHP version shipped on Enterprise Linux 7 distributions (RHEL / CentOS / Scientific Linux). I would like to ask you how much effort would be required to create and maintain a php7 package on EPEL7, so that concerning Nextcloud, Enterprise Linux 7 will still be the first alternative to other long support Linux distributions.
Best regards

I definitively don't want to maintain such a package, which will bring back the nightmare of having 2 set of packages in the same repository, as in the EL-5 time (with php and php53) especially as yum is unable to properly handle it.
Red Hat way to manage newer version is Software Collections See: https://developers.redhat.com/blog/2017/10/25/php-configuration-tips/
For now, we have PHP 5.6, 7.0 and 7.1 available.
Remi
Enterprise Linux 7 will still be the first alternative to other long support Linux distributions.
