Also mention the bug in the commit message, just link it like
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=913446
Needs documentation but that will be dependent on what the final patch looks like, so fine to skip for now.
The main questions are:
1) is the XML format fine? <range ... lease='XXX'/>. lease sounds kinda non-specific to me, maybe leasetime or leaseTime.
Sounds good to me, though since pointed out in a later email, we might want to make this a child tag on its own within <dhcp> instead of a per range property.
2) what to use for the input format? right now it's just string passthrough to dnsmasq, which takes a format like XX[s|m|h|d|w], or 'infinite'. Accepting that format kind of sticks us with that for all time, which probably isn't a good precedent. the easy way would probably be to just say the value needs to be in minutes, and maybe -1 == infinite. But that will take a bit more code to adapt that value to the dnsmasq format.
Sticking to minutes seems like a loss of granularity, we can't really predict that a given setup might care about second level granularity for leases can we? I'm all for the argument of sanity checking the input and not doing an opaque passthrough, but I think in the end we might want to support some sort of seconds/minutes/hours/days notation (or stick to seconds and let people figure the amount out with a calculator). Thanks a lot for the input.
