Bug Description
Binary package hint: bash
Hi,
From the thread here: http://
If you have a bin folder in yer home directory, it adds it to the path.
It currently adds ~/bin to the start of $PATH, which has been brought up as a bit of a security issue. It should add that path to the end of the $PATH variable, not the beginning.
See the thread for a fix.
Thanks.
