174,Cabal no longer adds binaries to PATH,duncan,MtnViewMark,"A user reported this in the Cabal trac, but the issue is actually the change in the cabal config that the OSX installer makes. I'm not making a judgement on whether this change is good or not, just passing on the report.

Clearly this user had set things up so that the binaries were on the $PATH and this having changed is confusing.

My guess is that we should set things up so that we use a symlink bindir somewhere sensible. That probably just needs a fix to get the symlinks correct when a per-package bindir is being used.",defect,closed,major,,OSX installer,invalid,,
