I am installing D8 on a CentOS 7 system with PHP 7.0. (This will be a dedicated Drupal 8 system.)
A sysadmin co-worker recommended Remi's PHP 7.0 repo, which installs PHP into /opt/remi/php70/root/bin (instead of the familiar /usr/bin). The final step in the installation is a bash script, which modifies your PATH and LD_LIBRARY_PATH.
(It does not set DRUSH_PHP)

Does anyone have any experience with this repo? (Most of the builds I've worked on in the past have installed PHP into /usr/bin ). Any "gotchas" here? Is there a more-preferred CentOS 7 repo to use?

Many thanks!
