I have one Drupal 5 site. I need to upgrade site to Drupal 7.
On my analysis I found that we can do it in two ways:
1. Drush update to latest version of 5 and then to Drupal 6 and then Drupal 7. But its a long way.
2. Using migrated2d module or feed module to migrate data to fresh Drupal 7 installation.

Can someone suggest better solutions and also any references ?

Also is feed module is available for Drupal 5 ?

I'd rebuild at that point. Otherwise, you can try upgrading 5 -> 6, then 6 -> 7.

The challenge will be making sure all modules used in D5 are available for D7.

DD,

Your best bet, that will use the least amount of your time, is to completely build your D7 site and then manually migrate the data from the D5 site. Or hire someone . . .

Example, basic user migration into empty new system, keeping existing UID from old system.
