I had a usable glusterFS install, and then upgraded and no longer had a usable glusterFS install. I don't know what to call that other than "broken." The CLI is required - without it one cannot setup, change, or monitor the daemon. Would it make sense to package systemD without /usr/bin/systemctl? Upstream ships the CLI with the server (combined package). The PPA ships the CLI with the server (combined package). Fedora ships the CLI with the server (Install-Requires) Arch ships the CLI with the server (combined package). CentOS ships the CLI with the server. (Install-Requires) Gentoo ships the CLI with the server (combined) As far as I can tell only Debian ships a split package without Requiring the CLI. MfG, Alex Ruddick
