I am happy to announce the General Availability of Gluster 3.6 and 3.7 for CentOS 6 on x86_64. These packages are following the upstream Gluster Community releases, with one minor update for each version per month.
Users of CentOS 6 can now simply install Gluster with only these two commands: # yum install centos-release-gluster # yum install glusterfs-server The centos-release-gluster content comes from the centos-release-gluster37 package delivered via CentOS Extras repos. This contains all the metadata and dependancy information, needed to install Gluster 3.7. For people looking at running Gluster 3.6, there is the centos-release-gluster36 package. In order to get this version, substitute the step-1 mentioned above with: # yum install centos-release-gluster36 We have a quickstart guide specifically built around the packages are available now, it makes for a good introduction to Gluster and will help get you started in just a few simple steps, this quick start is available at https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Storage/gluster-Quickstart More details about the packages that the Gluster project provides in the Storage SIG is available in the documentation: https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Storage/Gluster The centos-release-gluster* repositories offer additional packages that enhance the usability of Gluster itself. Users can request additional tools and applications to be provided, just send us an email with your suggestions. The current list of packages that is (planned to become) available can be found here: https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Storage/Gluster/Ecosystem-pkgs Gluster is the first project that provides packages through the Storage SIG.
