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.
