Having some issues with pecl yaml in PHP7 (see below for error log). What I can see on: https://pecl.php.net/package/yaml is that there's some RC's for 2.0 that is suppose to cover the issue... I'm currently running the command:
pecl install yaml && echo "extension=yaml.so" > /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/ext-yaml.ini.
But guess this won't install the RC version. How do I install the RC? is there a parameter to supply maybe..?
I could google the following solution (not tested):
pear config-set preferred_state beta
But I guess that this will set a global beta state for all extensions. I only want to install this extension as beta..

Answer
So after some additional googling I found how to install by searching for how to install beta packages, instead of RC's as I first was looking for.. face-palm
http://php.net/manual/en/install.pecl.pear.php
..so the correct command would be:
pecl install yaml-beta && echo "extension=yaml.so" > /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/ext-yaml.ini
Stable 2.0.0 was released 2016-09-24. Version 1.x.x is still supported, so you need to specify the version number, eg:
pecl install yaml-2.0.0 && echo "extension=yaml.so" > /usr/local/etc/php/conf.d/ext-yaml.ini
