The way to fix this is to use bzrlib.osutils.until_no_eintr in the SmartSSHClientMedium. The SmartTCPClientMedium already does this. The change should be simple.

OK, I have a patch that scatters some until_no_eintr calls around, in http://sourcefrog.net/tmp/20090901-341535-eintr.diff

I'm starting to feel that we should in fact have a file decorator that makes it handle eintr, but I didn't quite get to writing one.

It would be nice to add tests for this, but not easy as things stand, so I think it's worth merging without it.

In interactive testing, this does basically work so that you can interrupt the process and have it continue. However, you do have to say "kill -quit 1234" from another shell, because just pressing C-\ sends the signal to the whole process group(?) and that kills off ssh as well, so you can't continue.

poolie: spiv, if i thought there would be more cases then i'd do the object
poolie: is that the package in a distro?
spiv: If the underlying objects weren't private to the SmartMedium classes, that would be a pretty strong case for decorating.
spiv: poolie: right.
poolie: it's true it's more than 3 cases, strictly speaking
poolie: maybe i'll propose just this for now
spiv: poolie: So, I'm happy with the patch as is. If you feel like writing the decorator I'm happy to look at that page too :)
spiv: But it's not a big deal to postpone that refactoring indefinitely.

Reopening because until_no_eintr isn't safe to use in many places, so this "fix" has been partially reverted in lp:bzr r5117.
