Re: [CentOS-docs] Suggested additions to the wiki on the V6 to V7 upgrade page
** I've heard back from Karanbir and Jim Perrin so far. Would anyone else like to be included in the development of the upgrade guide? ** I think the jury may be out on how reasonably sane I am. I've been able to achieve a smooth upgrade process 3 times now, once on a production server (though that had no web-related role). Overall I'm fairly confident with the process so am keen to include some recommended actions for how to mitigate something going wrong during the upgrade. There's a little bit of negative FUD out there on the web about the upgrade process. A few people have blogged about the upgrade process (good and bad) and I feel there's a fair bit of room for expansion in the wiki to include their feedback, as well as for what I would suggest terming an upgrade process best practices. I suggest expanding on the content so people have a guide to a fairly smooth experience or at least a minimal risk of catastrophic failure, and how to tidy up after the upgrade. ** could someone moderate the comment at the end of this post please? http://seven.centos.org/2014/07/testing-centos-6-to-centos-7-upgrades-via-centos-testing-repo/ This is the biggest load of shit I’ve come across, it’s worse than Windows 8. I'm keen to develop the upgrade guide to a point so users avoid many catastrophic failures - because there'll be users who don't bother taking a backup of their system prior to actually ploughing ahead with it and then cry for help when it goes terribly wrong ;-) - and at the very least I feel we should guide people on how to review the preupgrade assistant report and look for serious warnings, and how to mitigate against them, so they can achieve an upgrade instead of a fresh install. I realise though that there is a line to be drawn between what's suitable as official documentation and a bit too much. Seem reasonable?
