[CentOS-devel] Documentation help requested (Re: Upgrading from 6 to 7)

[Rob Thomas]

I think we (Sangoma) are the only people maintaining it in the Open
Source arena.  I recently backported everything from upstream into our
upgrade repository.

https://wiki.freepbx.org/display/PPS/Upgrading+from+FreePBX+10.13.66+to+SNG7

We, however, have a much simpler situation, as I can explicitly go
through and blow away irrelevant and unneeded packages, as all I need
to do is present the end user with a working PBX 8-)
