Do you want to run YUM install checks ?  [y/n]

This will increase your upgrade duration time wise.
Check the change log centminmod.com/changelog.html
to see if any Nginx or PHP related new additions
which require checking YUM prequisites are met.
If no new additions made, you can skip the
YUM install check to speed up upgrade time.

Detected PHP 5.6 branch.
You can compile Zend OPcache (Zend Optimizer Plus+) support
as an alternative to using APC Cache or Xcache cache.
But Zend OPcache only provides PHP opcode cache and
DOESN'T do data caching, so if you web apps such as Wordpress,
Drupal or vBulletin require data caching to APC or Xcache,
it won't work with Zend OPcache.

Do you want to use Zend OPcache [y/n] ? y
