[Freeipa-users] Fedora -> CentOS, 4.7.2 -> 4.7.1

[David Harvey]

Dear FreeIPA users,

TL:DR *any* way of moving from 4.7.2->4.7.1?

I've managed to get into a situation..
On realising the support for Debian/Ubuntu was a bit ropey, I successfully
made Fedora replicas and promoted them a year or so ago. These run OK, but
wanting to be off the treadmill of Fedora upgrades, the promise of CentOS8
beckoned.  With seeing the release notes for 4.7.2 pointing to Redhat 8
relates patches I was quite confident that 4.7.2 would be included,
allowing another hop over to a longer term supported OS.  So the short
version is, that I'm on 4.7.2 very much wanting to get to CentOS8 where
4.7.1 is currently.

I understand the replica installer will let you create against the same or
older than itself, but are there any actual LDAP schema differences between
these versions? Might it be possible to tweak what 4.7.2 reports in order
to force it to allow a 4.7.1 replica?  Is there a backup and restore
process that might allow the moving back by 0.0.1 versions!?
Given that FreeIPA call out Redhat and Fedora support but not CentOS, would
I actually be better off on the Fedora frequent update path?

Many thanks in advance,

David
