Summary : Automates the conversion of RHEL derivative distributions to RHEL
Description :
The purpose of the convert2rhel tool is to provide an automated way of
converting the installed other-than-RHEL OS distribution to Red Hat Enterprise
Linux (RHEL). The tool replaces all the original OS-signed packages with the
RHEL ones. Available are conversions of CentOS 6/7 and Oracle Linux 6/7 to
the respective major version of RHEL.

Update Information:
Changes included in this version: * allow conversions of CentOS and Oracle
Linux 8 * fix "TypeError: execve()" py2.6-related error when calling external
commands * remove unused code related to using offline snapshot or RHEL
repositories * remove all Red Hat Network (RHN)-related code as RHN has been
shut down * set POSIX/C locale at the start of running the tool * remove python-
syspurpose dependency from spec - not available on OL 7 and 8 * not renaming the
original system repofiles anymore * replace the word blacklist with
exclude/excluded * clearing yum versionlock that could cause the conversion to
fail * printing rpm files that were modified during the conversion * minor UX
improvements and test infrastructure improvements
