Yes, or we can place them in their own repository. I have a
gluster-debug repository where I plan to put tools I use for debugging.
This repository may well live at the Gluster organization on GitHub too.

https://github.com/nixpanic/gluster-debug

Many of the tools we use for debugging should not be version specific,
so having them in the glusterfs repository might be a little awkward?

What are the opinions of others?

My personal preference would be to host it under one central repo instead of individual github accounts. Versioning and such other issues can be tackled having good documentation around these tools.



Thanks,
Niels
