Hi centos-devel,
François Cami posted in December, seeking help to maintain the Ceph packages within the Storage SIG intiative [1].
With this, we've got reinforcements -- the new members of the storage SIG for Ceph packaging are: - David Moreau Simard - Giulio Fidente - Thomas Oulevey
We've already begun kicking the tires and tagged Ceph Jewel 10.2.3 for release (which had been in testing since September). Ceph Jewel 10.2.5 has been built and will likely be tagged to -testing after some initial testing.
We're also in the process of updating Ceph Hammer from 0.94.6 to 0.94.9, although note that we're beyond the scheduled EOL territory for Hammer [2]. It does not seem Hammer is officially EOL yet, I'll reach out to upstream for details.
After Jewel and Hammer are both up to date and released, we will consider if we have the necessary resources to handle Kraken or if we'd prefer holding out for the next LTS release.
Also, one more thing to note is that we are moving away from maintaining our own dist-git repositories in favor of rebuilding straight from upstream source RPMs and have updated the github repository accordingly [3].
Please let us know if you have any questions !
