For Fedora, glusterfs-3.7.x will only land in Fedora 23, the other Fedora versions will stay on their stable branches. Users of packages from the distributions should not be worried that the version they are running suddenly gets replaced with the brand new 3.7.0. The packages are not in Fedora EPEL (which is what CentOS uses too?). I do not know what the plan for the GlusterFS packages in the CentOS Storage SIG is. If the 3.6.x packages from the SIG are not in the stable repository yet, I would suggest the SIG to do the update to 3.7.x now already.

RHEL ships the client-side Gluster packages. -- Kaleb

That being the case, unless someone notices that a yum update is about to upgrade their gluster installation as well, they might not perform the above steps first. Would that not be a problem?>From my own perspective, I'm keen on some of the new features in 3.7.0,but would prefer to not put a brand new release into production until the dust has settled. We're running 3.6.3 currently, but had waited for that release before pushing it out into production. -- Cheers, Kingsley.
