Once the packages from the CentOS Storage SIG are available on the
mirrors, we'll get a centos-release-gluster312 package in CentOS Extras.
After that is in place, an announcement to the CentOS list [8] will be
sent.

At the moment we're waiting for the CentOS team to initite the mirroring
of the new gluster-3.12 repository. Hopefully this happens early next
week.

HTH,
Niels
