I attempted to install the php7 package and noticed it does not replace/conflict with php5 and so it runs into a file conflict when installing. I added obsoletes to php7 package which behaves as desired. - https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/348020
I am not sure if there is a clean way to auto update all php5* packages with php7* packages where applicable.
Next I noticed a number of php applications will be removed when updated to php7 which is due to hard dependency on php5 package. Many of the packages will work fine on php7 (or may in the future) and so I am working on changing them to php-foo virtual packages instead of php5-foo.
I wrote a script to try and detect and fix basic *Require statements in .spec files.
Will eventually create submit requests similar to: - https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/348017 - https://build.opensuse.org/request/show/348012
All work will be done in: - https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:boombatower:branches:server:php...
Just a heads up in case others are working on this or considering it. Once I have an automated run I am happy with my plan is to do a fair bit of manual inspection and hopefully run a script to ensure same platforms fail to build as parent project and then run submit requests.
Any suggests are appreciated.

Just a question, before php7 will be considered as first choice, php5 will stay at least one or two years. Big projects will not be able to migrate quickly and would like to stay on php5. Isn't there a simple way to have update-alternatives packaging as it's done for python2 / python3 especially that php5 in /etc var/lib and so is already there, it can't have conflict with php7 derivative.
