Detailed plans

• To be investigated:

Various notes

Host test machine is a ppc64le VM based on RHEL-LE-7.3

• ruby

ruby-2.0.0 is part of RHEL-LE-7.3

ruby-2.1.1 should be used to better support ppc64le

• gcc

gcc 4.8.5 is part of RHEL-LE-7.3

gcc 5.1.1 is used in ppc64le f22

• glusterfs

glusterfs seeems supported in ppc64 and ppc64le fedora 22 but not in redhat and epel7
