Topic
An updated preupgrade-assistant-el6toel7 package that fixes several bugs and adds various enhancements is now available for the Extras channel of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
The preupgrade-assistant-el6toel7 package provides a set of modules used for the assessment of the source system for the upgrade or migration to the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 system. The modules are used by the preupgrade-assistant package.
The preupgrade-assistant-el6toel7 package has been upgraded to version 0.6.71, which provides a number of bug fixes and enhancements over the previous version. Notable bug fixes are as follows:
- Previously, the script that installed packages from the lists created by the Preupgrade Assistant modules did not work as expected when the input data format changed. With this update, the script installs the packages from the input data correctly, with much less time consumption, and the generated output message is in a human-readable format. (BZ#1394085)
- The upgrade on the 64-bit PowerPC architecture was reported as impossible because the Yaboot module sometimes showed an extreme risk. With this update, the module generates the grub configuration file in the /root/preupgrade/dirtyconf/etc/default/ directory automatically, unless the /etc/default/grub configuration file already exists. The update also provides information how to create the /etc/default/grub file manually. For example, the user can use the generated file after its proper review. (BZ#1296658)
Users of preupgrade-assistant-el6toel7 are advised to upgrade to this updated package, which fixes these bugs and adds these enhancements.
