How can we manage, p.e. php-mcrypt (huge user demand) in this configuration ? (part of php in Fedora, and php-extras in EPEL).
Not sure what are you asking for. php-mcrypt will be part of php56 collection for instance, but I probably did not understand the question.
php-mcrypt is only an example, not part of php54 or php55 (or any other future collection). This extension have a dependency on libmcrypt not in RHEL/CentOS.
For base packages, this extension (and its dependency) is available in EPEL.
For SCL, we have
https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/scls/rhscl/php54/ clone/backport of official RHSCL
https://www.softwarecollections.org/en/scls/remi/php54more/ additional packages (initially designed for EPEL, but ...)
And of course "mcrypt" is only an example. php-extras provides: interbase dependency on firebird mcrypt dependency on libmcrypt mssql dependency on freetds imap dependency on libc-client tidy dependency on libtidy
And of course Fedora/EPEL have tons of extensions [1] which are not available in RHEL nor RHSCL.
Some are useful for modern web (mongo, redis, zmq...) some for developers (xhprof, xdebug...).
Remi.
