I maintain a RHL 7.3 system; what's involved in switching it to CentOS2.1?


My sympathies go out to you. :-)


I presume I need to replace the /etc/releases file, the yum configuration and (maybe) force-reinstall some upgrades


I have never actually tried to do the upgrade but years ago when RHEL (then
called 2.1AS) was new, I used a 7.3 system to build the 2.1AS rpms. The
biggest problem I had was that some of the 7.3 packages were newer then the
2.1AS packages. IIRC 2.1AS was based off of RHL 7.2.

I suspect that trying to do the upgrade from 7.3 to CentOS2.1, _might_ leave
you with some packages not up to date.


Those I can identify at my leisure and apply a little force to. Possibly, some were new in RHL 7.3.
