difficulties with redhat 7 to get php >= 7.0 + openssl >= 1.0.2

Latest response

Dear all,

i have some beginner questions about redhat specificities.

I have well read the article

Why is my Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 OpenSSL version 1.0.1e, since upstream already has 1.1 or 1.0.2?

but i'm not satisfied with the answer:

  • the check each details process is time costly
  • the apache signature is important for me and i dont want to hack it

I have also well read the documentation

"If the desired changes cannot be achieved that way, build a new container on top of the provided container image. Write a custom Dockerfile and use the original container in the FROM clause."
https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-us/red_hat_software_collections/3-beta/html/using_red_hat_software_collections_container_images/extending_images

  • i dont want that from a beta repository
  • the docker process is again an additional time cost

And i have also well seen similar posts in forum, but which are unanswered from more than 2 weeks

"Hi, My auditor asking to upgrade OpenSSL 1.0.2m due to VA and EOL of current version OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips."
https://access.redhat.com/discussions/2172641

I'm familiar with Debian where all those requirements (ssl >= 1.0.2 and php >= 7.0) are in standard packages from long.

All this make me really afraid about the time cost for using redhat knowing i'm limited to the 2 repository : standard and software collection.

Any "easy fast and clean" way to achieve the same than Debian like working just with packages or some quick addons ?

All tips are welcome, thanks in advance.
