My take on the process is rather mundane: I write it down. Every
package I install and every custom change I make, I write it in text
file which functions as a play book for deploying a functionally
identical system regardless of the underlying hardware. And then I
restore my home directory and non-OS data from backups (technically
backup staging replicas).
I guess I'm lazy in that regard. There is Ansible that RH
advocates in doing just this as you describe. On all my
machines I have two root partitions. When it comes time to
upgrade to the next distro version I format the other
parition and then rsync the current system to the other then
modify this in similar fashion as described in my initial
post. I then distro sync this copy ot the next version. This
has worked well for me for years and I do write down what
has bitten me so that I know what to look for next time.
