[Pkg-glusterfs-devel] patched fuse

[Matthias Albert]

Hi all,

glusterfs-1.3.8 is on the road :-). The glusterfs Team has fixed in tha 
latest TLA (643) some critical bugs and they are really optimistic to 
release the 1.3.8 version this/next week. All of them think that we have 
to wait until 1.3.8 is released and use them for the new official 
glusterfs debian package.

What about fuse? Should I contact the FUSE maintainers? Leonardo did you 
already contact them?

Best regards,

   Matthias
