Anand,
I am looking at the arch repository (I guess) at:
http://arch.sv.gnu.org/archives/gluster/glusterfs/glusterfs--mainline/
I downloaded the base, but do I need to download ALL of the patches and
apply them?
I am not really sure how to build glusterfs from this. Is there a
document to follow, or a process?
Thanks!
-Jeff
