package-hhvm

NOTE: I don't use HHVM anymore — especially since they shifted their focus from PHP 7.x to Hacklang — so I will no longe r be maintaining this package. It's mostly there, but since newer versions of HHVM source require a newer version of GCC than what comes with CentOS 7, I'm not enough of a C/C++ developer to fix the compilation issues I'm running into. If someone wants to provide a patch for the Makefile, I'd be happy to rebuild an RPM.

HHVM is an alternative PHP runtime developed by Facebook which aims to speed-up runtime performance, and implements a few new features. https://hhvm.com

See https://github.com/facebook/hhvm/releases for releases.

Generating the RPM package

Edit the Makefile to ensure that you are setting the intended version, then run make.

make
