Bug#354877: data written to stderr in pre-commit hook is not output by the client

2006-03-02 Thread Peter Samuelson
[Peter Lundblad] This is an error in the book. Hook script error output is only marshalled if the scripts returns a non-zero value. Can I close this bug? It seems the behavior is intentional. (Also, we don't ship the Subversion Book at this time, so we can't fix it.) Peter signature.asc

Bug#313371: ssh: should not print Killed by signal messages at all

I'll go one farther than the submitter of #313371 and claim that *all* the Killed by signal N messages are unneeded. Most Unix programs don't print such messages; that's the shell's job. The reason I care is that subversion can use a ssh pipe, and needs to be able to kill the pipeline when it

[Brian May] See bug #87371. The title is wrong. devfs is not the issue, /dev/pts is (I think). I don't think there is any intention to fix the bug. Over 4 years old. Perhaps this is grounds to drop the package from Debian. [Miles Bader] I'd say so. Or fix the bug. Kind of quick and

The fact that neon links to libssl0.9.7 *might* be causing #336373 against subversion, due to svn (indirectly) linking to both openssl 0.9.7 and 0.9.8. (apt-cache tells me that bazaar, davfs2 and kdesvn are in the same situation.) I've asked the submitter of #336373 to try your new package.

[Roland Stigge] It would also be possible to return the differences-found state via a return/exit value of the script. But that would diverge from common practice (see e.g., diff(1)). Heh - did you read diff(1)? diff *does* in fact return 1 iff any differences are found. So does cmp. grep
