Adding ~/.local/bin to the PATH is common on other distros.
This is what still needs to be established: is it? Which ones?
Is it merely a side-effect of them using systemd? And most
crucially: does it mean that Guix needs to add it too? What about
~/bin?
I'm was just interested in the (ideally: your) arguments for doing
so, not a link to a discussion site. If it really breaks things
that should work, I'm all in favour of adding it to the default
skeleton, if not /etc/profile itself.
When compiling and installing software as a user without making
a package
for it, I want to configure it with --prefix=$HOME/.local so I
can
install without sudo. Then I want to be able to run:
myprog
instead of
PATH=$HOME/.local/bin myprog
You can already easily add custom directories to $PATH in your
.bash_profile, if my understanding of bash's complicated set of
configuration files is still accurate. That's where I set it,
anyway:
~ λ grep PATH= .bash_profile
PATH="$HOME/.local/bin:$PATH"
and it's always worked fine. :-)
Kind regards,
