[Gluster-devel] Gluster version recap

[Kaleb KEITHLEY]

Hi,

As 3.7 release approaches, here's a summary of our current thinking 
about the RPM versions that will ship in various versions of Fedora.

Fedora 20: glusterfs-3.5.x
Fedora 21: glusterfs-3.6.x
Fedora 22: glusterfs-3.6.x
Fedora 23 (rawhide) glusterfs-3.7.x

N.B. we will continue to provide community packages of all versions of 
GlusterFS on download.gluster.org for all shipping/supported versions of 
Fedora and RHEL (including CentOS, etc.). We will also continue to 
provide community packages for selected other distributions.

To avoid a repeat of the issue we had with the release of the RHS 
versions of GlusterFS-3.6 RPMs in RHEL and CentOS, we intend to ship 
GlusterFS 3.7 RPMs that have Release numbers starting with 100, e.g.:

Community GlusterFS RPMs:        glusterfs-3.7.0-100.el6.x86_64.rpm
RHGS RPMs on RHEL, CentOS, etc.: glusterfs-3.7.0.29-1.el6.x86_64.rpm

Testing shows that using the above scheme will preclude RHGS RPMs from 
ever over-writing Community GlusterFS RPMs that have been installed on a 
system.

HTH,
