Gluster users - Jan 2015 - 3.2 clients with 3.5 server?

Having read a lot I want to give gluster a try on my network. Most 
systems run Debian. I plan to use Jessie for the servers, since I have 
to set them up from scratch anyhow. Jessie comes with gluster 3.5.2. But 
I cannot do much about the clients, which mostly run Wheezy, coming with 
gluster 3.2.7.

So will 3.2.7 clients work with 3.5.2 servers, or will my first step be 
the creation of a backport package for the clients?

Thanks for your help,
  - lars

Lars,

Why not use the gluster repo and not the default debian? Gluster is 
already updated to 3.6.2-1 for both Jessie and Wheezy

3.2.x will not work with 3.5.x, so you will need to update your Wheezy
systems. I guess you can use the community packages for this:
