</span>The following steps need to happen before the packages are easily<br>
consumable:<br>
<br>
1. packages need to be signed and pushed to the mirrors<br>
This is expected to happen tomorrow morning UK time.<br>
<br>
2. centos-release-gluster40 needs to be included in CentOS Extras<br>
There is only a .el7 package for testing now, I'll do a .el6 package<br>
today too. These packages need to be signed+pushed to the mirrors,<br>
which we can request after (1) in the US afternoon.<br>
<br>
3. (2) expects announcment emails to a CentOS list, in a particular<br>
format (see link in email below). I normally send out those emails<br>
and have the CentOS team review/approve them.<br>
<br>
As soon as (2) is done, users should be able to consume the packages as<br>
usual. At that time the email to <a href="mailto:announce@gluster.org">announce@gluster.org</a> can be sent out.<br>
The announcement on the CentOS list (3) might be a little delayed as<br>
that depends on the availability of the CentOS team.<br>

</span>This time round, we already placed some packages in the gluster-4.0<br>
repositories. That made it possible to do some initial syncing to the<br>
mirrors, so we're less dependent on yet an other task that we need to<br>
request from the CentOS folks. The repositories have existed for a while<br>
without anyone asking/noticing about them, so this seems a workable<br>
optimization for next releases.<br>
<br>
Obviously doing the releases in the CentOS Storage SIG need someone to<br>
initiate and work through them. Currently Kaleb and I do all of these,<br>
and we welcome anyone who is serious about assisting with this!<br>
<br>
Any further questions?<br>
