Good.

and changes
"--persistent" into "--config", just as other similar commands,

NACK.  Consistency may be nice, but backwards compatibility is more
important.  If we were to create an aliasing mechanism, where
--persistent is still recognized as an alias for --config but not
explicitly documented in the help output (but still mentioned in
virsh.pod), then we could use that; in fact, we could add:

VSH_OFLAG_ALIAS - if set, then the help field is the primary spelling
for which this option spelling is an alias

    {"config", VSH_OT_BOOL, 0, N_("affect next boot")},
    {"persistent", VSH_OT_BOOL, VSH_OT_ALIAS, "config"},

where only --config is documented in 'virsh help attach-device', but
where 'virsh attach-device --persistent' behaves the same.  But that's a
much bigger prerequisite patch; the rest of your patch (adding --live
and --current) is good whether or not we figure out a way to
backwards-compatibly rename --persistent into --config.

Sounds good idea, :-), will try this.



This patch removes codes like this, leave the determination for underly

s/underly/underlying/

OK.

Maybe it's a bit early morning for me, but I didn't get this
description. We are always affecting current domain :)

How about a separate cleanup patch which unifies all of these similar
strings into:

"config/persistent",... N_("alter persistent configuration, effect
observed on next boot, error for transient domain")
"live",... N_("alter running domain, immediate effect, error for
transient domain")
"current",... N_("either --config or --live according to current domain
state")

This can be both of "--live" and "--config" for an active domain,
depends on how underlying hypervisor driver implements it.


or is that too long?
