#24105: ER: MacPorts should install a file into /etc/paths.d --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Reporter: sethk@… | Owner: macports-tickets@… Type: enhancement | Status: new Priority: Normal | Milestone: Component: ports | Version: 1.8.2 Keywords: shell, path, environment | Port: --------------------------------------+------------------------------------- Doesn't it seem sensible that MacPorts should use the path_helper mechanism and install a file into /etc/paths.d, the contents of which could be something like: /opt/local/bin /opt/local/sbin This seems much less invasive than modifying the user's shell startup files in their home directory (which also only works for the user that installed MacPorts). -- Ticket URL: <http://trac.macports.org/ticket/24105> MacPorts <http://www.macports.org/> Ports system for Mac OS
