[Bug 1278513] Re: Provide non-American English alias for "nova boot --flavor"

 

The spelling in APIs and command lines are commonly standardized on US
english. I don't think we should go and alias everything which might
have a UK english spelling difference.

Title:
  Provide non-American English alias for "nova boot --flavor"

Status in OpenStack Compute (Nova):
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  The spelling of "flavor" in the Nova client is americanized.  Those
  with a non-American English education might prefer to have aliases
  available for "flavour" in, e.g., "nova boot" and the various "nova
  flavor-*" commands.

  There is a precedent in the gnu/linux world in grep where colour can
  be spelt color, e.g. in grep:

  grep --help | grep colo
        --color[=WHEN],
        --colour[=WHEN]       use markers to highlight the matching strings;
