[Gluster-devel] New features and their location in packages

[Niels de Vos]

With all the new features merged, we need to know on what side of the
system the new xlators, libraries and scripts are used. There always are
questions on reducing the installation size on client systems, so
anything that is not strictly needed client-side, should not be in the
client packages.

For example, I would like to hear from all feature owners, which files,
libraries, scripts, docs or other bits are required for clients to
operate. For example, here is what tiering does:

  - client-side: cluster/tiering xlator
  - server-side: libgfdb (with sqlite dependency)

By default, any library is included in the glusterfs-libs RPM. If the
library is only useful on a system with glusterd installed, it should
move to the glusterfs-server RPM.

Clients include fuse and libgfapi, the common package for client-side
bits (and shared client/server bits) is 'glusterfs'. There is no need
for you to post patches for moving files around in the RPMs, that is
something I can do in one go. Just let me know which files are needed
where.

Thanks!
Niels
