#174: Cabal no longer adds binaries to PATH
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
Reporter: duncan | Owner: gregorycollins
Type: defect | Status: new
Priority: major | Milestone:
Component: OSX installer | Keywords:
---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
A user reported this in the Cabal trac, but the issue is actually the
change in the cabal config that the OSX installer makes. I'm not making a
judgement on whether this change is good or not, just passing on the
report.

Clearly this user had set things up so that the binaries were on the $PATH
and this having changed is confusing.
My guess is that we should set things up so that we use a symlink bindir
somewhere sensible. That probably just needs a fix to get the symlinks
correct when a per-package bindir is being used.
