[Gluster-users] CentOS Storage SIG Repo for 3.8 is behind 3 versions (3.8.5). Is it still being used and can I help?

[Kaushal M]

Packages for 3.7, 3.8 and 3.9 are being built for the Storage SIG.
Niels is very punctual about building them. The packages first land in
the respective testing repositories. If someone verifies that the
packages are okay, and gives Niels a heads-up, he pushes the packages
to be signed and added to the release repositories.

The only issue is that Niels doesn't get enough (or any)
verifications. And the packages linger in testing.
