I think it's a question for the group in general: which is the best
approach? The range of choices we have is basically to pick from
the following menu:
- Install a file into /etc/manpaths.d/
- Install a file into /etc/paths.d/
- Munge ~/.profile to munge MANPATH
- Munge ~/.profile to munge PATH
was
- Munge /etc/[man]paths
ruled out? It has the advantage of letting us put /opt/local/
{bin,man} in the [MAN]PATH where we want it and being much easier to
work with than shell rc/profile files.
The /etc/[man]paths.d/macports approach is equivalent, and cleaner
than hitting the /etc/[man]paths files. read path_helper(8).
