Vad är ELevate?
ELevate is a project aimed to provide the ability to migrate between major versions of RHEL-based distributions from 7.x to 8.x. It combines Red Hat's Leapp framework with a community created library and service for the migration metadata set required for it.
Det här ser fantastiskt ut. Hur kan jag bidra?
Är detta redo för produktion?
YMMV. Every environment is different and unique based on applications and configurations. Since this is still under development, to avoid any surprises, we highly recommend that you test migrations scenarios in a VM or sandbox before running a migration in production.
Vilka operativsystem stöder ELevate?
För närvarande tillhandahåller ELevate Leapp data för migrering från CentOS 7 till följande OS:
- AlmaLinux OS 8
- CentOS Stream 8
- EuroLinux 8
- Oracle Linux 8
- Rocky Linux 8
Will migration be "in-place"?
Ja. Alla dina data, applikationer och inställningar kommer att behållas.
Är detta live eller krävs det en omstart?
Migreringen kräver att systemet startas om två gånger.
What does the Package Evolution Service do?
The Package Evolution Service stores package migration metadata. Metadata answers questions about how packages evolve between major distribution releases. PES supports several classes of rules for packages such as added, removed, renamed, split, merged, and so on. The service also allows everyone to improve the data by adding new actions or even create a custom dataset for packages from third-party or private repositories.
Red Hat offers a data set which is non-freely licensed. Are you using this same data set?
No. We respect Red Hat’s work and our initial data set was provided by the AlmaLinux Foundation and contributions from Oracle.
What license is your metadata under?
Metadata tillhandahålls under en Apache-licens.
Varför stöder ni migrering till andra distributioner?
The CentOS ecosystem is a very large and diverse community. We’ve developed this project in good faith in the hope that everyone in the community can use and contribute to, no matter which distro you prefer. That’s the open source way.
