It is feasible and there are plenty of hits using google with very similar =
questions.  It would be useful if you could say what your platform is (or w=
ill be if you plan on upgrading the hardware also).

I suggest you start with the release notes for the 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7 [1] ver=
sions which should cover most of the gotchas but in theory a current server=
 should be able to just pick up the old repositories and serve them.  Howev=
er, I would guess that a 1.4 to 1.7 upgrade would benefit from a dump / loa=
d cycle to make use of the latest repository structure features (as well as=
 giving you a handy dump file backup of the pre-upgrade repositories).

Perhaps you can provide more info and ask some more specific questions?
