Is the https://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/CentOSUpgradeTool still not recommend? Is there a expected time when it will be working? Thanks, Jerry

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: https://git.centos.org/summary/?r=rpms/preupgrade-assistant Upgrade Tool: https://git.centos.org/summary/?r=rpms/redhat-upgrade-tool openscap: http://vault.centos.org/6.7/os/Source/SPackages/openscap-1.0.10-3.el6.centos.src.rpm 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. Thread concerning the initial tool patches: https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2014-July/011558.html 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. Another thread: https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2014-July/011632.html and another: https://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2015-October/013898.html 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.
