  I found this site https://wiki.CentOS.org/TipsAndTricks/CentOSUpgradeTool

  Is this still the case – there is no upgrade path from 6 to 7 ?

  I have a few remote servers I’d like to upgrade (if possible).

  Thanks,

  It is supported, with some limitations, in rhel, so the same I think applies to CentOS. See here for rhel https://access.redhat.com/documentation/en-US/Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux/7/html/Migration_Planning_Guide/chap-Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux-Migration_Planning_Guide-Upgrading.html#chap-Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux-Migration_Planning_Guide-Upgrading_from_RHEL6

• The CentOS Upgrade Tool needs a good team to manage it from the community. I have asked several times on this list for maintainers. An upgrade Special Interest Group could be started, or people could just fork it and maintain it. The Source Code for the Red Hat EL6 and EL7
  tools are in git.CentOS.org, but they needs modification to work with CentOS.

  The above wiki page links the 3 important packages (preupgrade assistant, upgrade tool, preupgrade assistant content)

  openscap also needs to be modified to use these on CentOS.

  Anyone willing to give it a go? Check the wiki and the packages on git.CentOS.org from the links on the wiki.
