perfSONAR 4.1 is NOT available for CentOS 6. If you wish to migrate an existing CentOS 6 host to CentOS 7 see the instructions at :doc:`install_migrate_centos7`. You may also choose to switch to a supported :doc:`Debian platform <install_debian>`. **Security updates for CentOS 6 perfSONAR packages will be discontinued on February 15, 2019**. Also see the `CentOS documentation <https://wiki.centos.org/About/Product>`_ for a schedule of when CentOS 6 will no longer be a supported operating system.

Debian packages upgrade

Due to package dependency changes, the Debian auto-updates will not bring you 4.1 automatically. Furthermore, our repository name changed to make it clearer that we now have a single repository for all the supported distributions.

To upgrade from 4.0.x to 4.1 on Debian or Ubuntu, follow these commands::

perfSONAR 4.1 is NOT available for Debian 7 (and `Debian 7 is EOL <https://www.debian.org/News/2018/20180601>`_ anyways). If you wish to migrate an existing Debian 7 host to Debian 8 (Jessie) or Debian 9 (Stretch) you are advised to do it with the following steps:
160-
161-
#. Upgrade Debian 7 to Debian 8 (following Debian instructions, here are `Jessie upgrade notes for i386 architecture <https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html>`_)

Upgrade Debian 8 to Debian 9 (following Debian instructions, here are `Stretch upgrade notes for i386 architecture <https://www.debian.org/releases/stretch/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html>`_). Alternatively, you can just run ``apt-get udpate; apt-get dist-upgrade`` if you prefer to stay with Debian 8.

perfSONAR 4.2 is NOT available for Debian 8 (and `Debian 8 is now only supported on a limited set of architectures <https://www.debian.org/releases/jessie/>`_ anyways). If you wish to migrate an existing Debian 8 (Jessie) host to Debian 9 (Stretch) you are advised to do it with the following steps:
149+
150+
#. Lock your system on perfsonar-4.1 packages by replacing the ``perfsonar-release`` repository with a plain ``perfsonar-4.1`` repository entry. This is done in the ``/etc/apt/sources.list.d/perfsonar-release.list`` file, where you just replace **perfsonar-release** with **perfsonar-4.1** in the ``deb`` and ``deb-src`` lines.

#. Upgrade Debian 8 to Debian 9 (following Debian instructions, here are `Stretch upgrade notes for i386 architecture <https://www.debian.org/releases/stretch/i386/release-notes/ch-upgrading.en.html>`_).

#. Reactivate the ``perfsonar-release`` repository in your perfSONAR APT source file.

#. Run ``apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade`` to get the latest version of perfSONAR.

#. Reboot your system one last time.
