python2.5 (2.5-5ubuntu10) feisty; urgency=low . * Add debian/patches/subprocess-eintr-safety.dpatch: - Create and use wrappers around read(), write(), and os.waitpid() in the subprocess module which retry the operation on an EINTR (which happens if e. g. an alarm was raised while the system call was in progress). It is incredibly hard and inconvenient to sensibly handle this in applications, so let's fix this at the right level. - Patch based on original proposal of Peter Åstrand in http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1068268&group_id=5470&atid=105470 - Add two test cases. - (LP: #87292) * debian/rules: Apply above patch.
