Problem:

Expected outcome:

Foreman and Proxy versions:

Foreman and Proxy plugin versions:

Distribution and version:

Other relevant data:

I wanted to test an upgrade from Foreman 3.3 to 3.4 version.

I just realized that in the officila doc (Upgrading and Updating Foreman) it’s written :slight_smile:

For Enterprise Linux 7 Users:

yum update -y https://yum.theforeman.org/releases/3.4/el7/x86_64/foreman-release.rpm \

            https://yum.theforeman.org/katello/4.6/katello/el7/x86_64/katello-repos-latest.rpm

yum install -y centos-release-scl-rh

Except that when you check Index of /releases/3.4 only EL8 branch exists.

Is this a mistake or the 3.4 version will never exist ?

Support for running Foreman on EL7 has been removed in 3.4 as highlighted in the release notes.
The documentation is not updated yet, sadly. There is an open issue on GH that addresses this, but it’s not merged yet.
Before you upgrade to 3.4, you need to upgrade to EL8. There is a section dedicated to that process in the upgrade docs.
I would also recommend giving RedHat’s inplace upgrade guide a read.

Hope this helps :slight_smile:
