Should be fine, I guess.

So far so good...

The planet ccrma uniprocessor kernel is named "kernel-up", try that
instead. To see which kernel you are running type "uname -r"

No, it is probably fine. I guess you have to update your
/etc/apt/sources.list to point to the 8.0 repository and try doing an
apt-get update. You may get messages saying that there are packages
installed that have different dependencies than the ones in the
repository, that is because the planet ccrma packages you installed were
compiled under redhat 7.3 and the repository is now full of 8.0 packages
(and there may small differeces in the library versions of the
dependencies). In that case what you can do to fix this is erase the
packages that apt complains about, and reinstall them from the 8,0
repository.
