shouldn't ~/bin be in the path?
Offline
By default? no, add it in your own bashrc - everything beyond /home does not belong at the system level.

ok, didn't know that rule.
thanks

It's not a rule, per se, but setting ~/bin at the system level doesn't make sense considering your /home stuff can change and different users may or may not have ~/bin.
Sure it couldn't hurt to have it that - but it doesn't make sense outside of a private profile seeing as it has the potential to not exist

I've never needed it myself - you can always do it in your ~/.bash_profile if you want.

having user¡s stuff in home folder creates on them the need of a bin folder in path at one moment or another.
this is just to simplify things to users.
that's why i think it could be in the default path

You could put a test in the skel bashrc to see if ~/bin exists, and if it does add it to the path. Or you could just add it to your own .bashrc.

i thought it could be useful, so that's what i wondered why it isn't in the default configuration.
thanks for your information
