Package: glusterfs-server Version: 9.2-1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
the package glusterfs-server provides the whole gluster command line utility [0]. This includes the remote-host functions. I think it would be useful to separate these command line functions out of glusterfs-server into a separate package glusterfs-cli. One use case is listing all available volumes on a remote Gluster cluster > gluster --remote-host=192.168.0.150 volume list so that one of them can be mounted without having the whole Gluster server installed. It is implemented this way in, for example, Fedora [1]. Kaleb S. KEITHLEY mentioned in Gluster Slack #development that the Gluster Community packages would follow the lead of the Debian/Ubuntu packaging bits in this case.
