Enhancing the Fedora Upgrade Process
summary
Proposal describes Leapp framework for in-place Fedora/RHEL/CentOS upgrades that actually scans a live RHEL7 system, runs a three-stage upgrade (scan and checks, boot to an initramfs to apply a prepared RPM transaction with bundled workarounds, then first-boot config fixes and SELinux relabel), and supports interactive dialogues, repo rewriting, config conversions, and third‑party app migrations. Demo shows a multistep run that completes end‑to‑end (demo time ~17 minutes reduced in test), but the tool has no automated rollback yet and detects blocking issues like removed kernel modules or Python2 usage.
