  Description     : cli interface to stratisd storage management service

Stratis is a storage management solution built on device-mapper and XFS,
featuring both volume management and snapshot capability.


Being a rather new solution stratis is not yet commonly used.
Version 1.0 was released late 2018. Quoting their announcement, it
"is ready for more widespread testing and evaluation by potential users".

At this point the package will be useful for evaluation and testing of Stratis 
outside
of RedHat systems. My personal motivation is that I am running Debian on a NAS,
and want to explore Stratis on it.
It is my believe that ultimately Stratis will be a much more user-friendly 
alternative to
LVM - and interesting from a technology standpoint.

Obviously the CLI client alone is not useful, instead my goal is to package 
both the daemon,
and the management application. However the client utility is integral to 
testing of the
daemon package, so it should be done first imo.

What I am looking for in the community is co-maintainers /-developers and a 
packaging team
to join for access to build infrastructure, as well as some assistance with the 
packaging
if I come across roadblocks.
