[Gluster-users] A very special announcement from Gluster.org

[Peter Linder]

This post mentions that you should skip step 5 if installed using RPM. 
Is this also true for the debian/ubuntu packages? The debian packages 
appear a lot smaller than the ubuntu ones, is this expected?

I shall test the upgrade path on debian in a test environment, so I 
suppose I will find out :)
