As you can see, there have been several updates since the last time an update was rolled in (4 updates to the c6 upgrade tool, 6 upgrades to the preupgrade-assistant.) The openscap might be OK as is, not 100% sure.
These packages were supposed to be community maintained, but no one has done the work to try to keep this updated. I can TRY to do this (but not for a while), but it would be better if someone from the community would do it.
NOTE: The patches are scrubbed from the list, but if you have archives of the email, they are attached to the actual mails. The are also in git.CentOS.org now.
So, what we need is someone from the community to maintain this. Is there anyone who will take a look and refactor the patches and test?
This would be done on the CentOS-devel mailing list. If you will maintain it .. the info is in git.CentOS.org, format the patches as ‘git am’ patches and I will work with you to get them into git and the packages built.
If we can’t get someone, then I will try to do it when I have time, but it is not something that is a high priority and it has to come after my other work. I don’t know when I can get to it.
3 thoughts on - Upgrade Tool For 6 To 7 Migration
7 is *so* different than 6 in *so* many ways that I would /never/
recommend an automatic update.

I personally would never do an in place upgrade on a production machine. Call it a personal bias.
The versions we have released do not work .. there are updates that need to be refactored and rolled in.
There are several upgrades to the tool, and I expect there will be another set shortly before or just after the 6.8 release.
Here are the tools used:
Pre Upgrade Assistant:

Upgrade Tool:

openscap:
