I prepared two patch files for init.(c)sh, but I cannot attach them to the tracker item. I suppose because it is a feature request. I have no permission to change it. Could anyone of the developers change that?
I define in the init.(c)sh two functions (aliases) addpath and addpath2. They add the new path only if it isn't already defined. addpath adds the new path to the end, while addpath2 adds it in front. Those functions (aliases) are defined globally, so they could be used by other packages setting path related environments, too.
Cheers,
Remi

However, I do not know exactly how to handle the feature tracker. Am I supposed to add the patch file to the tracker item?Yes, that would be good. A tracker item can be changed from "request" to
"patch" also, but I suspect that only the fink developers can make that
change. But anyway, that's how we will handle it once some code has been
contributed.
Something should also be done about the scripts in /sw/etc/profile.d that add path components.
For ages, I have had a private hack in my tcsh startup script that removes /sw/bin:/sw/sbin and /usr/X11R6 from path before sourcing init.csh, but in nested shells, I then sometimes got one copy of /sw/bin:/sw/sbin OK, but four copies of /sw/share/Geomview/bin.
