In the past I downloaded the packages for a version and configured it as a
local repo on the server.  basically it was a tar.gz that I would extract
that would place the ceph packages in a folder for me and swap out the repo
config file to a version that points to the local folder.  I haven't needed
to do that much, but it was helpful.  Generally it's best to just mirror
the upstream and lock it to the version you're using in production.  That's
a good rule of thumb for other repos as well, especially for ceph nodes.
When I install a new ceph node, I want all of it's package versions to
match 100% to the existing nodes.  Troubleshooting problems becomes
drastically simpler once you get to that point.
