Hi everyone,

It seems that https://wiki.centos.org/TipsAndTricks/CentOSUpgradeTool is no longer available. Can you help me with reaching an older version? Where I can find the article history?

It's not available as the tool has not worked for an eternity and no-one has yet managed to work out how to make it work. Since the resulting systems on which it's run then suffer from a variety of problems from "the tool doesn't even let me start" all the way through to "I migrated your system and killed it, I do hope you had a backup", it was removed for safety reasons.

Do not attempt to run it, it WILL break things. If you are lucky it will break before it even does anything at all. If you are unlucky then it will let you do stuff and in the process it will break the system so thoroughly that it will need days of remedial work done to resurrect it.

If you are volunteering to fix it and make it work then start from the RHEL packages that are in git.centos.org and work out how to patch those to work on CentOS. None of the more recent versions from RHEL have been fixed to work with CentOS.
