Is RedHat RHEL-6.7 HUBzero installation supported, and is HUB-1.1 to 1.3 upgrade possible?
Just wondering when HUBzero for RedHat will be out of beta and ready for use. We are a large RedHat shop, very few folks around here are familiar with Debian, and our Linux support infrastructure is in place for Redhat (including in-house Satellite server for package management, etc.)
I looked at the Installation documentation (https://hubzero.org/documentation/1.3.0/installationrh) today, and HUBzero packaging for RedHat is still listed as "beta", with the RedHat version listed as 6.5 - the RedHat RHEL-6.6 was released in October of 2014, and RHEL-6.7 was released at the end of July-2015. While I don't expect there would be many issues with the newer (6.7) release, I'd like to verify that before giving the new HUBzero packaging a test flight.
Additionally, since we're still running a HUBzero-1.1 installation on Debian-6.x, we would like to be able to migrate that HUB to a newer release (HUBzero-v1.3.x), preferably on the RHEL-6.x platform. Is this possible, and if so, are there directions and/or tools to help in accomplishing it?
Thanks for any info you can provide.

The RedHat release is still in beta and will remain so until we start deploying it in our production environment (I expect that to happen within the next 12 months). I would recommend remaining with Debian. There is no self-service upgrade path from 1.1. You can contract with the HUBzero Foundation to do the upgrade for you or advise you in the process (see https://hubzero.org/about/foundation).
