Re: [Nix-dev] ~/bin in PATH if exists
Why is this personal bin directory needed? I don't see the point actually. I mean users in NixOS have their own private Nix profile to install their binaries in, right?

I just added it with that condition (r31235), hoping this is also in your interest. I think preferred the approach of Peter - no addition of ~/bin. I consider that the task of ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile. I don't think that Peter was worried in having that in the PATH when the path does not exist. I think it worried him only if it existed. :) ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev ___ nix-dev mailing list nix-dev@lists.science.uu.nl http://lists.science.uu.nl/mailman/listinfo/nix-dev

Re: [Nix-dev] ~/bin in PATH if exists
You can also write Nix expressions for these scripts and install them into your personal Nix profile? I have to admit that this is a little bit of extra work, but it is also not that difficult either.
