Thanks for the info! If the EPEL version is compatible, it makes sense
to get it added to the buildroot.

The above is what I'm making available in the ..-test repositories for
CentOS Stream 11 & 10. Performance might be a little lower without
liburing, but at least there are no conflicts when installing the
packages next to QEMU. Test results are very welcome!

I like the idea, but it will still cause issues for users that are
updating and have liburing-2.x installed. Maybe the package gets
removed when glusterfs-server does not depend on liburing anymore? That
would make a clean path for updating to a new version with liburing
from EPEL at one point.
