Packaging for the CentOS Storage SIG does not take much time either. At<br>
the moment I think only Kaleb and I have the permissions to do so. Still<br>
waiting for other contributors to reply to Sankarshans email<br>

<br>
The other community packages that Kaleb singlehandedly builds takes<br>
(much) more time. Contributors for those are very much wanted, I think.<br>
<br>
I don't mind doing an early/extra CentOS Storage SIG build.<br>
