Hi,

Starting in 3.6 we have bumped the SO_VERSION of libgfapi.

You need to install glusterfs-api-devel-3.6.0... first and build vdsm.

But....  we are (or were) not planning to release glusterfs-3.6.0 on f19 
and f20...

Off hand I don't believe there's anything in glusterfs-api-3.6.0 that 
vdsm needs. vdsm with glusterfs-3.5.x on f19 and f20 should be okay.

Is there something new in vdsm-4-14 that really needs glusterfs-3.6? If 
so we can revisit whether we release 3.6 to fedora 19 and 20.
