We build the GlusterFS packages against the current version of CentOS 7. The dependencies that are installed during the package building may not be correct for older CentOS versions. There is no guarantee that the compiled binaries work correctly on previous versions. The backwards compatibility only counts for new OS updates, so that old applications do not need to be recompiled. This request is the other way around, and is not something I think we can commit to keep working. The correct solution would be to update all the dependencies (and their dependencies like a chain) to not run into unexpected and difficult to debug problems. Downgrading libvirt or keeping it on an older version should be possible. HTH, Niels
