Summary0001709: Feature request: Introduce "Software Collections" to support PHP 5.4 & 5.5
Description"The goal of SoftwareCollections.org is to promote packaging and distribution of useful open source software outside the standard repositories for Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Fedora, CentOS, and other operating systems that utilize the RPM package format.

As part of this mission, we provide hosting and distribution for Software Collections (SCLs) developed by the community. We do not review source or packages for suitability of purpose, quality, or licensing – but we reserve the right to refuse or delete any packages or source code that does not comply with our policies."

Software Collections are interesting for ClearOS in general, and the PHP package could be the reference implementation.

Web Server admin panel should have an interface to indicate which directories and sub-directories (or all) should use PHP 5.4 or PHP 5.5. Perhaps this could be overrideable directory by directory using .htaccess

Similarly, it would be nice to be able to override the Command Line (CLI) version. This is less important though because there is a workaround, as seen below:

# yum --enablerepo=clearos-core install scl-utils
# yum install https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/scls/rhscl/php55/epel-6-x86_64/download/rhscl-php55-epel-6-x86_64-1-2.noarch.rpm [^]
# yum install php55
# scl enable php55 'php -v'

Target release is 6.6.0, but that's more of a hope than a promise :-)

For anyone watching: this is now looking more like a ClearOS 7 thing. Sorry for the wait, but it's going to be a fantastic, future-proof and flexible solution.
