Upgrade from Oracle Linux 7
Hi
Is there any way to perform in-place upgrade from Oracle Linux 7 to Oracle Linux 8? I tried `redhat-upgrade-tools-cli` with the DVD iso, it complains that it cannot upgrade between variants between Oracle Linux to AppStream.
Any other way?
Thanks!

Are there any plans to offer something similar like Red Hat does with Leapp to perform an in-place upgrade (https://www.redhat.com/en/blog/upgrading-rhel-7-rhel-8-leapp-and-boom)?

We're planning on releasing an upgrade path from OL7 to OL8 using Leapp in early 2021.

Hi Avi,
Is there any upgrade path now to perform a in-place upgrade from OL7 to OL8 yet ?

It's in QA at the moment. There are a few edge cases that we're smoothing out, but we're still on track to release in early (i.e. Q1) of 2021.

Hello Avi, can you please update us how is going development of OL7 to OL8 in-place migration tool?
Is it possible to take part in beta testing of this solution?
Do you have any ETA for this?

QA is taking longer than we anticipated, unfortunately. We are not planning a beta/pre-release though.
Also, I'm no longer an Oracle Linux PM (as of 3 weeks ago), so I don't have the most current info. I'll ask the actual PM when they're online tomorrow for an update.

And here it is: https://docs.oracle.com/en/operating-systems/oracle-linux/8/leapp/
Enjoy!

Thank you Avi!

Didn't run into anything like this in your testing?

@User_YK0IJ try to remove unnecessary package with following command:
yum remove sysvinit-tools-2.88-14.dsf.el7.x86_64
Of course make backup/snapshot before such operation.
