We have a set of 3x freeIPA servers that have outdated (everything) in a development/test environment that need to be updated.

It seems that 4.6.8-5.el7.centos.12 is the latest version available on CentOS 7?

We are at on the 3 servers:

4.5.4-10.el7.centos.4.4

4.6.4-10-el7.centos.6

For the two 4.6.4 installs, that seems relatively simple upgrade as we would only be going to a different dot release and a simple "yum update ipa-server" should handle this? Is there any advisement for/against doing a full "yum update" on the entire system to get everything updated?

For the 4.5.4 system, is there much of a concern going straight from 4.5.4 to 4.6.8 straight? I assume the concern would be jumping major versions and going from say 4.5 to 4.9?

My current plan is to stop at CentOS 7.9 and latest FreeIPA 4.6 release on CentOS 7.9. But for my own knowledge if I was going to 4.10 wouldn't the recommendation path to upgrade to 4.10, to install CentOS Stream 9 on a new server, enroll it, make 4.10 the master and then remove the CentOS 7 instances?
