I am happy to announce the General Availability of Gluster 5 for CentOS 7 on x86_64. These packages are following the upstream Gluster Community releases, and will receive monthly bugfix updates. Gluster 5 is expected to receive updates until the end of October 2019. The maintanance and release schedule can be found at: https://www.gluster.org/community/release-schedule/ Users of CentOS 7 can now simply install Gluster 5 with only these two commands: # yum install centos-release-gluster # yum install glusterfs-server The centos-release-gluster package is delivered via CentOS Extras repos. This contains all the metadata and dependency information, needed to install Gluster 5. The actual package that will get installed is centos-release-gluster5. Users of Gluster 4.1 can stay on that release until June 2019. Users of Gluster 4.0 and earlier will need to manually upgrade by uninstalling the centos-release-gluster-legacy package, and replacing it with either the Gluster 5 or 4.1 version. Additional details about the upgrade process are linked in the announcement from the Gluster Community: https://lists.gluster.org/pipermail/announce/2018-October/000115.html We have a quickstart guide specifically built around the packages are available, it makes for a good introduction to Gluster and will help get you started in just a few simple steps, this quick start is available at https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Storage/gluster-Quickstart More details about the packages that the Gluster project provides in the Storage SIG is available in the documentation: https://wiki.centos.org/SpecialInterestGroup/Storage/Gluster The centos-release-gluster* repositories offer additional packages that enhance the usability of Gluster itself. Utilities and tools that were working with previous versions of Gluster are expected to stay working fine.
