Centos 8 -> Centos Stream Upgrade
Centos 8 -> Centos Stream Upgrade
Given the announcement the Centos 8 is going to be abandoned, is there an upgrade path from Centos 8 to Centos Stream? Or does this require a reinstall?

Done thanks.
Re: Centos 8 -> Centos Stream Upgrade
Using one of my CentOS 8 servers as a guinea pig I followed the steps outlined.
One artifact of doing so is dnf update is now giving me some additional output
Code: Select all
[~]$ sudo dnf update
Librepo version: 1.12.0 with CURL_GLOBAL_ACK_EINTR support (libcurl/7.61.1 OpenSSL/1.1.1g zlib/1.2.11 brotli/1.0.6 libidn2/2.2.0 libpsl/0.20.2 (+libidn2/2.2.0) libssh/0.9.4/openssl/zlib nghttp2/1.33.0)

Dependencies resolved.
Nothing to do.
Complete!

Re: Centos 8 -> Centos Stream Upgrade
well... we've warned everyone that Stream is not CentOS, its a beta product for RHEL. It shouldn't be called CentOS Stream, it should be called RHEL Beta Stream.

Should be called Scream rather than Stream.
I'm not a complete idiot. There's still a few pieces missing.

While investigating the issue posted here about not having the most recent kernel I discovered something.
The instructions seem to have been changed today. Per the Wayback Machine,last week the commands were:
Code: Select all
root@centos-linux# dnf install centos-release-stream
root@centos-linux# dnf swap centos-{linux,stream}-repos
root@centos-linux# dnf distro-sync
root@centos-stream# cat /etc/centos-release
CentOS Stream release 8
Code: Select all
[root@centos ~]# dnf swap centos-linux-repos centos-stream-repos
[root@centos ~]# dnf distro-sync
After rebooting, the extra output from sudo dnf update, i.e.
