Sorry, but I don't think it make sense to maintain a spec file here.

Indeed this one is really outdated.

Your proposal is really not enough (missing optional dependency, compression libraries and extensions)

Better maintained in the RPM distribution itself.
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/php-pecl-redis5/tree/master

Especially as binary packages are also produced there and available for

• Fedora in official repository
• RHEL / CentOS 7 (for SCL) by the SCLo SIG, see https://blog.remirepo.net/post/2017/02/23/Additional-PHP-packages-for-RHSCL
• RHEL / CentOS 8, sadly blocked by infrastructure issues, but see https://rpms.remirepo.net/temp/epel-temp.repo

IMHO, simply remove this "rpm" directory.

Hey Remi, thanks for taking the time to answer me.

You are making a lot of good points here. I actually did not found the rspec that you had linked here before, thank you.

I was trying to understand the problem RHEL8 actually have ( As it is my need ). I found your conversation about this elsewhere but could not understand the problem, i thus took the initiative to build my own packages and update this at it was , well, old.

I think deleting this directory could be the right thing to do. I, however, prefer the 'moved here' solution.

Should read links in https://rpms.remirepo.net/temp/epel-temp.repo
Especially https://pagure.io/epel/issue/75 and linked other issues

Yup, i found it in the previous comment. Thanks for the head up. This does not sound good for the future of EPEL/PHP combo ...

Merged, thanks!
