Bug#778648: devscripts: hitting ctrl-c while an editor is open should terminate bts, but instead it goes ahead

That seems like suboptimal behavior. Exiting due to a signal doesn't seem like a successful exit. It seems emacs isn't very consistent about this. Running emacsclient to connect to an existing daemon means that frame exits with an exit code of 130, as expected. Running a standalone “emacs -nw”, SIGINT gets caught and doesn't exit. Running a standalone X emacs frame does exit cleanly as you describe. if i run a bts command that drops me into my editor in an X11 environment, emacs spawns as a separate window, while my shell is blocked by the bts invocation (as it should be). if i hit ctrl-C in the shell, though, apparently bts passes the SIGINT through to my editor, and then proceeds to use the contents of the message as prepared. Yes, Perl ignores SIGINT/SIGQUIT while running the external process, so that process gets the signal. I'll adjust bts to inspect the exit code of the process so it doesn't treat a non-zero exit code as success. However, emacs will need to be fixed to not exit with a zero when killed. As an alternative, you can tell bts to cancel by saving an empty file. Cheers, -- James GPG Key: 4096R/331BA3DB 2011-12-05 James McCoy james...@debian.org signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Bug#778648: devscripts: hitting ctrl-c while an editor is open should terminate bts, but instead it goes ahead
Package: devscripts Version: 2.15.1 Severity: normal emacs is my default editor. it looks like if you send emacs a SIGINT, it will clean up nicely and terminate with a return code of 0. if i run a bts command that drops me into my editor in an X11 environment, emacs spawns as a separate window, while my shell is blocked by the bts invocation (as it should be). if i hit ctrl-C in the shell, though, apparently bts passes the SIGINT through to my editor, and then proceeds to use the contents of the message as prepared. I expected ctrl-C to terminate the bts report rather than sending it in. here's me starting to close #770592 by mistake, realizing that wasn't correct and trying to abort it: 0 dkg@alice:~$ bts done 770592 2.1.1-1 ^C0 dkg@alice:~$ (the leading 0 in my prompt is the return code of the previous command) unfortunately, this actually did close #770592, which i didn't intend. --dkg -- Package-specific info: --- /etc/devscripts.conf --- --- ~/.devscripts --- Not present -- System Information: Debian Release: 8.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing'), (200, 'unstable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 3.16.0-4-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages devscripts depends on: ii dpkg-dev 1.17.23 ii libc62.19-13 ii perl 5.20.1-5 ii python3 3.4.2-2 pn python3:any none Versions of packages devscripts recommends: ii at 3.1.16-1 ii curl7.38.0-4 ii dctrl-tools 2.23 ii debian-keyring 2014.12.10 ii dput-ng [dput] 1.8 ii dupload 2.7.0 pn equivs none ii fakeroot1.20.2-1 ii file1:5.20-2 ii gnupg 1.4.18-6 ii libdistro-info-perl 0.14 ii libencode-locale-perl 1.03-1 ii libjson-perl2.61-1 ii liblwp-protocol-https-perl 6.06-2 ii libparse-debcontrol-perl2.005-4 pn libsoap-lite-perl none ii liburi-perl 1.64-1 ii libwww-perl 6.08-1 ii lintian 2.5.30+deb8u3 ii man-db 2.7.0.2-5 ii patch 2.7.1-6 ii patchutils 0.3.3-1 ii python3-debian 0.1.25 pn python3-magic none ii sensible-utils 0.0.9 ii strace 4.9-2 ii unzip 6.0-16 ii wdiff 1.2.2-1 ii wget1.16-1 ii xz-utils5.1.1alpha+20120614-2+b3 Versions of packages devscripts suggests: ii build-essential 11.7 pn cvs-buildpackage none pn debbindiff none ii devscripts-el35.12 pn gnuplot none ii gpgv 1.4.18-6 ii heirloom-mailx [mailx] 12.5-4 pn libauthen-sasl-perl none pn libfile-desktopentry-perlnone ii libnet-smtp-ssl-perl 1.01-3 pn libterm-size-perlnone ii libtimedate-perl 2.3000-2 pn libyaml-syck-perlnone ii mailutils [mailx]1:2.99.98-2 pn mutt none ii openssh-client [ssh-client] 1:6.7p1-3 ii svn-buildpackage 0.8.5+nmu1 ii w3m 0.5.3-19 -- debconf-show failed -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe.
