+%description
+When this package is installed, an unmaintained Gluster version was available
+on this system. In order to prevent problems when the YUM repository
+disappears, this package removed the old .repo files.
+
+It is recommended to deploy Gluster environments with planning for timely
+upgrades to keep using a maintained version. For more details about the
+maintenance and release schedule, see
