This would have been because the package was introduced to support a specific dependency chain and, at the time, there was no request for Gluster support. I have now orphaned the package on behalf of team+freexian (it no longer has an active maintainer), so the correct thing to do here is simply file a wishlist bug against the package. I've CC'd the QA group mailing list, where orphaned packages are handled, but the list is not the place to request this change. Report a bug against tcmu if you want anything to change. You may also choose to make the change yourself, via a sponsor if needed - https://mentors.debian.net/ & https://salsa.debian.org/debian/tcmu.git Adding this support would be easier with a volunteer available to test that it actually works, so the more you can do yourself, the more likely it is that this orphaned package can be updated. (I certainly have no ready way to test glusterfs support, for example). https://www.debian.org/Bugs/ https://www.debian.org/Bugs/Reporting It would appear that https://packages.debian.org/unstable/libgfapi0 is what is referred to for this support, via https://packages.debian.org/unstable/libglusterfs-dev (I have not tested whether tcmu compiles correctly with the version of libgfapi in Debian.) > As the package description explcitly does mention Gluster I wonder > why this was done as I also couldn't find anything in the changelog? Something like this is unlikely to be specified in the changelog unless there was a bug report to introduce it or remove it. If there was a particular reason not to support an optional part of a package, that could also appear in a README.Debian or README.source in the package. > As GlusterFS is packaged in Debian and supported by various other > packages (like tgt-glusterfs) it would be nice if this was supported > in TCMU-Runner as well. > > Kind regards, > Andreas Kirbach -- Neil Williams ============= https://linux.codehelp.co.uk/
