Packages for RHEL/CentOS-5 are not available yet. These will follow
later. Thare are some changes needed to be able to build the packages on
EL5. Because we are currently stabilizing our CI/regression tests, we do
not merge any other changes. Until we provide packages in our
repository, you could apply patch http://review.gluster.org/10803
yourself and build the EL5 version. I expect that we will do a release
in 2-3 weeks which will have EL5 RPMs too.

I have no idea about the problem below, it sounds like something the
GlusterD developers could help with.

Thanks for the information.  As long as I know it is coming, I can improvise and hang on.

I am assuming that the problem with the .2 machine not being seen is a result of running a cluster with a version split.
