fyi. the solution to this could be to use a guard variable, similar to what is described here: http://lmod.readthedocs.org/en/latest/045_transition.html#an-example-of-how-this-can-be-done-in-your-bash-startup-scripts ie. once somebody has defined MODULEPATH already, do not touch it anymore.

Set Fedora defaults from Lmod's init scripts
The attached patch sets Fedora default values for MODULEPATH from within Lmod's init/profile and init/cshrc startup files, linked from /etc/profile.d/z00_lmod.sh and /etc/profile.d/z00_lmod.csh respectively.
Lmod is designed to set those values only during the user's first login shell (using MODULEPATH_ROOT as a flag) to keep MODULEPATH's current value through subshells.
/etc/00-modulepath.sh and /etc/00-modulepath.csh should be eliminated because they reset MODULEPATH.
We need 00-modulepath to sync the initial MODULEPATH between environment-modules and Lmod, but you are correct that it shouldn't reset it. I think I've go a fix.

Description of problem: Lmod packages prevent the correct function of `module use`, upon further bash invocations due to this being hardwired in the .spec: ``` echo 'export MODULEPATH=%{_sysconfdir}/modulefiles:%{_datadir}/modulefiles:%{_datadir}/Modules/modulefiles' > %{buildroot}%{_sysconfdir}/profile.d/00-modulepath.sh echo 'setenv MODULEPATH %{_sysconfdir}/modulefiles:%{_datadir}/modulefiles:%{_datadir}/Modules/modulefiles' > %{buildroot}%{_sysconfdir}/profile.d/00-modulepath.csh ``` Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 6.x.y (all) How reproducible: always. Steps to Reproduce: just try: $ echo $MODULEPATH $ module use $HOME/privatemodules $ bash $ echo $MODULEPATH ## it gets reset in a very unwanted way, because of `bash` Actual results: Two same $MODULEPATH outputs Expected results: $MODULEPATH gets reset Additional info:
