Thanks everyone for the information.   I'm happy to help provide test repo feedback on an ongoing basis to help things along which I'll do right now.

Niels,
If you require more or less information please let me know, happy to help.  Thanks for doing the builds!

I deployed GlusterFS v3.8.8 successfully to 5 servers running CentOS Linux release 7.3.1611 (Core) here are the results.

2 GlusterFS clients deployed the following packages:

Subject: Re: [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?

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.
