[Gluster-devel] glusterfs package requires libgfdb.so

[Kaushal M]

The glusterfs package contains the CTR xlator, which requires libgfdb.
We have 2 choices now. We could either,
1. Move the CTR xlator into the glusterfs-server package. This makes
sense because CTR is a server side only xlator, and has no reason to
be in the glusterfs package.
or,
2. Move libgfdb back to glusterfs (or glusterfs-libs to be more correct).

Either of these would allow client only packages.
