Hi,

This is the state of the Ceph effort so far:

Ceph-specific dist-gits are hosted at https://github.com/CentOS-Storage-SIG

Ceph Hammer (0.94.5) packages have been built and tagged storage7-ceph-hammer-testing: http://cbs.centos.org/koji/taginfo?tagID=646 These work well enough for test and development use cases.

A centos-release-ceph-hammer rpm has been built but is not yet properly tagged to go into extras: http://cbs.centos.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=2497

A Ceph quickstart howto (WIP) was added to the wiki: https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Storage/ceph-Quickstart

Next steps: * properly tag the centos-release-ceph-hammer rpm so that it lands into extras ( https://bugs.centos.org/view.php?id=10285 ), * Ceph upstream is preparing a Hammer dot release ( http://tracker.ceph.com/versions/505 ) which will be rebuilt and tested as soon as it is available, * decide whether to build infernalis or skip it and rebuild Jewel instead, * complete and proofread the howto, * add CI jobs to test releases.

Thanks to everyone involved.

François
