Subject: Re: [Swan-dev] better name for {left,right}ifaceip?General comment: We have way too many options. We cannot lightly delete any that have been advertised in a release. Has iface-ip been advertised?
It hasnt been advertised yet, as I described in my previous posting. A more lowlevel choice to be made for this option is whether it should be a left/right option or not. We also had a long discussion about this that did not leave everyone happy. Since ipsec-interface= is not left/right, I did not think the iface-ip option should be left/right either. But if we were to replace the leftvti= option with it, it would have to be. If we leave alone all vti options (whether they all stay for a while or are removed), and we dont consider iface-ip= to obsolete that left/right vti option, it makes more sense to use ipsec-interface-ip= so that it is both not left/right just like ipsec-interface= is not, and it makes it clear the -ip option only relates to ipsec-interface= and not to vti or anything else. Note we already have vti-interface and curl-iface so we are already inconsistent with the word :( But at least those are easy to create aliases for so we can advertise a single consistent keyword.
