The CentOS team has been requested to sync the packages marked for
release to the mirrors. This is mostly done on Mondays for new
repositories. I guess there has been a delay because last Monday was a
holiday in the US.

As soon as the packages are mirrored, I'll request the CentOS Extras
maintainer to include the centos-release-gluster312 package [1] in the
CentOS Extras repository as well. Once that is done, an announcment will
be sent to the CentOS users (similar to [2]).

Not sure, it always takes 1-2 weeks before the new releases are on the
CentOS mirrors. Maybe we should be clearer in setting expectations?

HTH,
