Hmm, ok. In that case we should figure out how to express it in the
.spec that is part of the glusterfs repository. Eager testers would use
that for building RPMs, and currently it generates packages like
glusterfs-3.11.0beta1-0.0.el7.x86_64.rpm. The same .spec is used for
nightly builds that are provided through the CentOS CI.
