I am happy to announce the General Availability of Gluster 6 for CentOS 6 on x86_64. These packages are following the upstream Gluster Community releases, and will receive monthly bugfix updates. Gluster 6 is expected to receive updates until the end of March 2020. The maintanance and release schedule can be found at: https://www.gluster.org/release-schedule/ Users of CentOS 6 can now simply install the Gluster 6 clients with only these two commands: # yum install centos-release-gluster # yum install glusterfs-fuse The centos-release-gluster package is delivered via CentOS Extras repos. This contains all the metadata and dependency information, needed to install Gluster 6. The actual package that will get installed is centos-release-gluster6. Users of Gluster 4.1 can stay on that release until June 2019. We have a quickstart guide specifically built around the packages are available, 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. Utilities and tools that were working with previous versions of Gluster are expected to stay working fine. If there are any problems, or requests for 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 We welcome all feedback, comments and contributions.
