From the RPM changelog:

* Thu Dec 12 2013 Devrim GÜNDÜZ <devrim(at)gunduz(dot)org> - 9.3.2-2PGDG
- Initial cut for RHEL 7
- Disable uuid builds on RHEL 7 temporarily, since uuid-devel is not
available in the beta iso.
- Fix builds when uuid support is disabled, by adding missing conditional.
- Add process name to the status() call in init script.
