Ah OK, and what about generating the libguestfs-live-service for centos ? I know that they may compatibilities issues with the distribution of source rpm for fedora >=16

Actually i prefer not have all our guests overburdened with the libguestfs package while we just need the daemon.

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)

Thank you

I believe libguestfs live is disabled in the RHEL/CentOS 6 package, so
the only way to do it is to build the whole libguestfs from source.
Just building the daemon won't work.
