I've installed Subversion 1.3.2-r3 and the install notes tell me: - svn over ssh: [ edited out part one as its not part of the bug ] 2. create an svnserve wrapper in /usr/local/bin to set the umask you want, for example: #!/bin/bash umask 002 exec /usr/bin/svnserve "$@" I've created this script: # ls -al /usr/local/bin/svnserve -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 95 Oct 16 00:38 svnserve However, when I connect via svn+ssh:// I don't have /usr/local/bin in my path, I only have the following: /usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin I am therefore not able to make use of the wrapper and I execute the svnserve binary located in /usr/bin/svnserve Can we add /usr/local/bin to the users path for a non-interactive shell? However, when I connect via SSH with an interactive shell the /usr/local/bin path *is* there!
It seems that the /etc/bash/bashrc file exits the environment setup process before the path is modified. Inserting the follwing into /etc/bash/bashrc at the 7th line fixes this problem: PATH="/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:${PATH}" export PATH
I agree that the fix works. I don't believe that /usr/local/bin should be added to the PATH by default. Gentoo itself doesn't (to my knowledge) install anything there. If the user wants to put something there, they can add it to the PATH on that machine if they don't want to call it with /usr/local/bin/<somefile>.
Is this still valid with updated system?
