I read at

“Warning: use of this tool is currently not recommended as several system-critical packages are of a higher version number in CentOS 6.6 than they are in CentOS 7
so those do not get upgraded correctly. This renders yum and several other system tools non-functional.”

Is that still the position?
If so, is it likely to change in the near future?

One thought on - Upgrade CentOS 6 To 7

  • I would never, ever personally use this tool on a production server of any kind.

    That is a personal opinion.

    I would also never, ever upgrade a Windows server from one major version to another, etc. I would always do a new install and migrate things to the new server. Just too many possible issues otherwise. I feel that the same is true for major Linux OS upgrades as well.
