here we go again. :-( I thought we had reached a consensus on this issue a long time ago? | commit 8eca4db54aed5b0969a2f0c56e2736cb3c8a078a | Author: Peter Simons <[email protected]> | Date: Sat Dec 31 12:56:45 2011 +0000 | | /etc/profile: do not add ~/bin to $PATH in system-wide init file | | Users who want a user-specific bin directory to override system paths should | configure that in their user-specific ~/.bashrc, not in the system-wide init | file. The global file shouldn't add directories from user homes to $PATH | without knowing whether those actually exist or whether the users even want | them in $PATH. On my system, for example, there is no ~/bin, so I don't want my | $PATH to look for one. Removing an erroneous entry from $PATH is cumbersome, | but adding one is easy, so it feels better to err on the side of caution.
