Description jmccann 2011-04-26 16:37:07 UTC

The default /etc/skel/.bash_profile has:
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin

It would be nice if this was:
PATH=$PATH:$HOME/.local/bin:$HOME/bin

This would be one less thing expert users would have to configure on their systems.

Comment 1 Roman Rakus 2011-04-27 02:13:22 UTC

It would be nice if sun shines at night.
Now seriously, why do you want this? How this is useful? Is the path $HOME/.local/bin extensible used in fedora?

Comment 2 Lennart Poettering 2011-04-29 00:32:42 UTC

The path $HOME/.local is mandated by the XDG basedir spec. Having $HOME/.local in the $PATH by default hence makes it a lot more useful for per-user installation of programs.
