I installed centos 6.5 from a dvd. Now that 7 is out, I'l like to try it. I tried:
sudo yum clean all && sudo yum update
but it said there were no updates. Is there a command-line way to upgrade from 6.5 to 7?
Thanks,

I would suggest if possible just download centos 7 iso. if you ever need to reinstall, you will have the iso/DVD at hand and only apply the updates. Or like myself, and probably others, continue using centos 6.x til 2020? Good luck. :-)

I did that but it looks like it wants to format available disk space. There are no options for upgrading.

i guess wiping out centos 6.5 to install centos 7 is needed.

yum update will only update packages in the current version, not switch to a completely new version.
7 is structurally different enough, with systemd and so forth, that you will want to do a virgin fresh install.

Can't locate it today, but I found info earlier that there would be a 6.5->7.0 upgrade path at some point in the future. Sounded pretty much like the old Fedora preupgrade + something like fedup.

There is. It's not ready yet, and requires a fair amount of patch work. If someone would like to take on the challenge, details live here -> http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2014-July/011277.html
