Identify and remediate systems affected by this advisory.
Topic
A new preupgrade-assistant-el6toel7-data package is now available for the Extras channel of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.
Description
Preupgrade Assistant is a set of scripts and plug-ins that can assess your system before upgrading to the next major version of Red Hat Enterprise Linux. It checks for removed packages, packages with partially incompatible replacements, changes in libraries, users and groups, and various services. It then produces a report which assists you in performing the upgrade itself by outlining potential problem areas and offering suggestions about mitigating any possible incompatibilities. In addition, Preupgrade Assistant helps you install a new major release of Red Hat Enterprise Linux which is as similar as possible to your previous system. It also provides post-upgrade scripts which will help you finish in-place upgrade after the installation of a newer Red Hat Enterprise Linux release.
The preupgrade-assistant-el6toel7-data package contains static data about differences between a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 system. This data is necessary to produce a correct preupgrade report after system assessment.
This enhancement update adds the preupgrade-assistant-el6toel7-data package to the Extras channel of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6. (BZ#1303911)
All users who require preupgrade-assistant-el6toel7-data are advised to install this new package.
