[gluster-packaging] samba-vfs-glusterfs for CentOS8

[Strahil Nikolov]

Hey Kaleb,

thanks for the reply.
It seems I was  fooling myself.
The samba-vfs-glusterfs was  provided by base/updates , but I also found it at:
https://download.gluster.org/pub/gluster/glusterfs/samba/CentOS/epel-7/x86_64/samba-vfs-glusterfs-4.2.4-6.el7.centos.x86_64.rpm

I guess I have to ask Jeremy Allison and also in CentOS mailing list .

Thanks for the hints.

Best Regards,
Strahil Nikolov
