Morning internals,

We have in the root of the repository a script named "makerpm".

Other than token changes (changing php5 to php7) it hasn't been properly
maintained, and I have to guess that this is because nobody is using it.

Possibly I'm wrong about it being out of date, and there are some widely
used redhat derivatives that can still use it ?

Could anyone familiar, especially Remi, try to ascertain if it is worth
keeping this file, or if it's worth rewriting it for modern tooling
(rpmbuild).

There is a case to be made that it's not doing any harm, however it appears
to be broken at the moment. We do try to leave packaging to maintainers who
know what they are doing, and for that reason it may be pernicious to leave
it in the repository, as if it's supported.

Cheers
Joe
