glusterfs installation fails due to missing python3-pyxattr package

[fgierlinger]

Summary
The installation of glusterfs fails on a fresh CentOS 8 Stream installation with the following error:

TASK [geerlingguy.glusterfs : Ensure Gluster packages are installed.]
*******************************************************************************
fatal: [centos8stream]: FAILED! => {"changed": false, "failures": [], "msg": "Depsolve Error occured: \n Problem: 
cannot install the best candidate for the job\n  - nothing provides python3-pyxattr needed by 
glusterfs-server-9.1-1.el8.aarch64", "rc": 1, "results": []}

The package python3-pyxattr is provided by the PowerTools repo, which is not activated per default. The repository can be activated with dnf config-manager --enable PowerTools

[fgierlinger@centos8stream ~]$ sudo dnf repolist

centos-gluster9                                          CentOS-8 - Gluster 9
extras                                                   CentOS-8 - Extras

The parameter enablerepo for yum might solve this problem, but I have not tested it.

Steps to reproduce
Execute the following playbook on a CentOS 8 Stream host.

- hosts: all
  gather_facts: yes
  roles:
    - role: geerlingguy.glusterfs
      vars:
        glusterfs_default_release: 9

Expected behaviour
Glusterfs installation succeeds when executing the role and specifying glusterfs_default_release: 9

Actual behaviour
The installation of glusterfs fails, because the package python3-pyxattr can not be installed, which is located in the PowerTools repository. The PowerTools repository is not enabled in a CentOS 8 Stream minimal installation

Host information
OS: CentOS 8 Stream aarch64
Python: 3.8.2
Ansible: 2.10.7
geerlingguy.glusterfs: 3.1.2

Does this fail on rockylinux8 as well? I'm dropping any official support for Stream in my roles.

[geerlingguy]

Just added a rockylinux8 test; may still fail there, though the way I add powertools differs a little bit from the implementation in the PR. https://github.com/geerlingguy/ansible-role-glusterfs/runs/4419995860?check_suite_focus=true
