Gluster users - Nov 2022 - Right way to use community Gluster on genuine RHEL?

Hi!

I?m reviving an old thread, because my questions are related to the original
topic.

Are there any community packages available in any repository which are built
against the stable Alma or Rocky 9?
Is there a risk that Gluster packages built against CentOS 9 Stream would at
some point be incompatible with the stable Alma/Rocky 9?

RH promises ABI compatibility for some libraries, but if I understand correctly,
liburcu (the RPM named userspace-rcu) is not one of those and there?s a chance
it could change between EL9 minor releases.

I?m able to rebuild the srpm, if needed, but it?d be convenient if there was a
repository.

Best regards,
Ville-Pekka

To be honest, I have no idea how to answer that.Rocky guys do not want to
duplicate the work,? as we got GlusterFS in CentOS Stream (see
https://forums.rockylinux.org/t/glusterfs-repos-location/6630/7 ) while the
CentOS guys confirmed my suspicion -> once Stream is dead, the whole infra
will be deleted (see https://www.spinics.net/lists/centos-devel/msg21628.html )
and no more packages will be available.
As IBM's Red Hat is now abandoning GlusterFS, I see a lot of challanges for
the project.
