Package: runit-init
Version: 2.1.2-18
Severity: normal

Hi,

sometime in the past year or so, you changed /etc/runit/2 so it sets a PATH
that no longer contains /usr/local/sbin and /usr/local/bin.

I think this is wrong; those are standard locations for locally installed
binaries, and they should occur in the PATH *before* their
distribution-managed counterparts, to allow locally installed software to
override whatever the distribution ships.

In my case, the change caused actual breakage when rebooting after the
upgrade, because some of my run scripts called stuff from /usr/local, which
was suddenly no longer in the PATH.

Of course, it would be possible to explcitily set the PATH in all run
scripts, but I'd prefer them to inherit a sane default.

Best regards,

AndrĂ¡s
