+<PRE>Hi,
+
+Le 12/11/2012 12:43, Colin Guthrie a &#233;crit :
+&gt;<i> 'Twas brillig, and Luc Menut at 11/11/12 18:04 did gyre and gimble:
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> I think that we should drop these dirs from our defaults $PATH, before a
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> future mass rebuild.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Yeah seems sensible.
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> Col
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>
+OK
+
+Currently, we have the following cases in Mageia:
+1) login normaluser
+ PATH=/bin:/usr/bin
+
+2) /bin/su - normaluser , ssh normaluser
+ PATH=/usr/local/bin:/bin:/usr/bin
+
+3) login root , /bin/su - root , ssh root
+
+PATH=/sbin:/usr/sbin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin
+(there is only one $PATH for root because it is re-defined in
+/root/.bashrc from rootfiles).
+
+So, sometimes we have /usr/local/[s]bin in $PATH before %{_bindir} (2),
+sometimes after (3), sometimes it is not in $PATH (1).
+
+Is there any justification to these differences? (personally I don't see
+any justification to differences between 1. and 2. )
+
+I don't find if there is some specification (POSIX, LSB, ...) about what
+should be in a standard default $PATH, and in which order.
+
+I would prefer if we can unify a bit this, and keep only 2 $PATH, one
+for normal user and another one for root.
+So should we have /usr/local/[s]bin in default paths ?
+If yes, should it be before or after %{_[s]bindir} ?
+
+
+My proposal for unified $PATH would be :
+A) normaluser
+ PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin
+
+B) root
+ PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin
+
+
+Any comments and suggestions welcome !
+
+
+Regards,
+Luc
