Version : 0.12
Release : 1.el7

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:
**Fixes:** - require --enablerepo with --disable-submgr - fix failing
conversions if gpgcheck=1 not in used custom repos - add missing python-
setuptools dependency on RHEL 6 to a spec file - fix parsing RHSM output due
to its change in RHEL 7.8 - fix stopping the convert2rhel execution when not
running as root - do not traceback when intentionally stopping the conversion
- do not ask for subscription SKU pool IDs when activation key is used
**Enhancements:** - always logging debug info to the log file - unnecessary
backup of kernel packages is not being performed - unregister from RHN Classic
if in use - change a temporary folder path from /tmp/convert2rhel/ to
/var/lib/convert2rhel - add the ability to specify custom RHSM URL -
unsubscribe from RHSM during a rollback - drop the support for conversions of
RHEL 5 - make sure that RHEL kernel has been installed correctly during the
conversion - the convert2rhel.log file is not being overwritten but appended
