Nobody had anything to say, so on December 7th I put up 
http://download.gluster.org/pub/gluster/glusterfs/3.3/3.3.1/UFO/gluster-swift-ufo-1.1.tar.gz 
— a snapshot of the ufo subdirectory of the glusterfs source tree.

As described in my previous email, this represents the work we did to 
clean up the UFO implementation; to unfork Swift, if you will. The 
swift.diff was reduced to just the Constraints-Config backport patch. 
What remains of the implementation now consists of, in general, 
subclasses of the Swift DiskDir and DiskFile classes. In conjunction 
with that, last week I respun RPM builds for Fedora and EPEL using the 
new source. RPMs for Fedora and EPEL are in my fedorapeople.org YUM 
repository. There are RPMs for Fedora-18 beta which will be appearing in 
the -stable repo shortly, and RPMs for Fedora-19/rawhide are available 
in koji. These are the glusterfs-*-3.3.1-4 RPMs.

We're not standing still though. Today I respun another set of RPMs, 
this time using OpenStack-Swift 1.7.4 (Folsom) as the basis for UFO. As 
before RPMs for Fedora and EPEL are in my fedorapeople.org repo. RPMs 
for Fedora-18 beta are in the -updates-testing repo and will migrate to 
the -stable repo when the testing period is over, and RPMs for 
Fedora-19/rawhide are available in koji. Thise are the 
glusterfs-*-3.3.1-5 RPMs.

After the Christmas holiday we're tentatively planning to release UFO 
1.2, with several bug fixes and performance improvements.

My fedorapeople repo is at

My updated blog article on setting up UFO is at

Give it a try and let us know what you think.
