#13762: MacPorts 1.6 Installer doesn't install .profile ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ Reporter: pburleson@gmail.com | Owner: macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org Type: defect | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: base | Version: 1.6.0 Keywords: .profile installer | ---------------------------------+------------------------------------------ I installed MacPorts 1.6 Universal Leopard from DMG and it does not create .profile nor will it update an existing .profile as stated in the Install documentation in section 2.4 " Set the Bash Shell": "The MacPorts installer (from Mac OS X package or source) places a .profile file in your home directory (view files with a dot using ls -a). The contents of the ~/.profile adds the MacPorts paths in front of the standard Unix paths for the default Bash shell so that MacPorts libraries will take precedence over vendor-supplied libraries if both are present." Either the docs need to be updated, or there is probably a bug in the installer. -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macosforge.org/projects/macports/ticket/13762> MacPorts </projects/macports> Ports system for Mac OS
