osc does not flush stdout before asking questions #126

Closed olafhering closed 8 years ago

osc build $REPO $ARCH &> log.$REPO.$ARCH.txt

This hangs and nothing in log.$REPO.$ARCH.txt indicates why. I guess its sitting there and asking if its ok to use packages from some other repo referenced by $REPO.

It would be nice of whatever is asking for user input does flush stdout before reading from stdin.

A workaround seems to be to run osc through stdbuf, like: stdbuf -o0 -e0 osc ...

This was fixed in the meantime (see commits 22b272f3afc1a3f3b83b764b7745a662bc0aa234 and 56a9ab60dc77f5dcbf1b29b7846c09f8d80c138c).
