[Debian-ha-maintainers] gfs2-utils

[Christoph Berg]

Hi,

I was having a look at gfs2-utils, thinking it couldn't be too hard to
update a package containing a few simple utilities. Of course that
turned out to be wrong :)

Upstream has moved a lot in the 5 minor releases between 3.1.3 and
3.1.8. Most notably, gfs_control(d) was removed, so there is no longer
a reason for the gfs2-cluster package, so I dropped it. Since there is
no replacement, there won't be a transitional package with that name
either. Typical installations will have gfs2-utils installed anyway.

The debdiff between 3.1.3-1.2 and the current 3.1.8-1 draft looks like
this:

fsck and mkfs are moving from /sbin to /usr/sbin. As mount.gfs2 seems
to be gone, I saw little reason to keep the two others in the old
place. (?)

Comments? I'm not using GFS so I can't test the package and it could
be totally broken without me noticing...
