[Gluster-devel] Announcing Glusterfs release 3.12.2 (Long Term Maintenance)

[Niels de Vos]

The glusterfs-3.12.3-1 packages have now been marked for release into
the normal gluster-3.12 repository of the CentOS Storage SIG. I expect
that the packages will land on the mirrors during the day tomorrow.
