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

    Posted on

    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.
