Are the SCL repos of PHP kept up to date?

I noticed that the SCL version of PHP is still at 7.1.8 while the latest PHP 7.1 version is 7.1.15.

This is the collection's site: https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/scls/rhscl/rh-php71/

And here are the packages: http://mirror.centos.org/centos/7/sclo/x86_64/rh/rh-php71/

Are the SCL repos kept up to date or is 7.1.8 the latest version that will be released PHP 7.1 SCL?

Solution

  • The SCL packages are maintained and updated using the same policy that the base distribution.
