I am running RH 7.3. I would like to go to RH 8.

I have apt4rpm up and running. Can I use it to jump to the next version? Or would that be asking for trouble? If it can be done, how?

I am thinking that I would change the source list to point to a 8.0 repository instead of a 7.3 repsitory, then run the dist-upgrade.

I also have some compiled apps on the box, I am worried about breaking their dependacies also.

Has anybody every successfully done this?
