We don't want to support libguestfs-live on RHEL, and the only way to
enable it in CentOS would be to enable it in RHEL too.
FWIW RHEL 6 carries the following patch:
https://github.com/libguestfs/libguestfs/commit/f87bb94ce53e991dd29f0b473...
You could modify the libguestfs RHEL 6 spec file, remove that patch.
You'll also need to modify the spec file to add the live-service
subpackage. As an example of what to do, see the Fedora spec file:
http://pkgs.fedoraproject.org/cgit/libguestfs.git/plain/libguestfs.spec
and search for the string 'live-service'.
Actually I just realized that uses systemd units, not sysvinit, so
that's not totally simple to emulate on RHEL 6.
Actually i prefer not have all our guests overburdened with the
libguestfs
package while we just need the daemon.
You can compile libguestfs on one machine, and copy the
libguestfs-live-service RPM to the guests.
Beside i believe that with the live-service packege, closing the
guestfs
handle does not cause the daemon to exit (correct me if i am wrong)
This is correct, yes.
