[Gluster-devel] create Debian / Ubuntu / openSUSE / CentOS / ... packages in one place

Hi all,

I think it would be a good idea to use the openSUSE Build Service 
(http://build.opensuse.org) to create binary packages of glusterfs and the 
patched fuse version.

The openSUSE Build Service can create packages for many architectures (i586, 
x86_64, ppc, ppc64, armv4l, armv5el, sh4) and many linux distributions at 
once:  Debian Etch,  Ubuntu 6.06 / 7.10 / 8.04 / 8.10,  openSUSE 10.3 / 11.0 / 
11.1,  SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 / 10,  Fedora 9 / 10,  RHEL 4 / 5,  
CentOS 5,  Mandriva 2008 / 2009

I already tried to create glusterfs 2.0.0rc1 packages for Debian/Ubuntu, but 
had not much success so far as I'm not very familiar with packaging. Maybe 
someone with more packaging experience can help me here. 

My Build Service Project can be found here: 
  https://build.opensuse.org/project/show?project=home%3Admayr%3Aglusterfs
The resulting packages (after successful build) will be here:
  http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/dmayr:/glusterfs/

If someone can / wants to help me, please tell me either your Build Service 
username so that I can add it for write access to my project or create a new 
project for glusterfs inside the Build Service.

I really would like to beta-test the 2.0.0rc1 release on our 250 TB storage 
cluster with DHT and report bugs if there are any.
