Description
I installed MacPorts 1.6 Universal Leopard from DMG and it does not create .profile nor will it update an existing .profile as stated in the Install documentation in section 2.4 " Set the Bash Shell":
"The MacPorts installer (from Mac OS X package or source) places a .profile file in your home directory (view files with a dot using ls -a). The contents of the ~/.profile adds the MacPorts paths in front of the standard Unix paths for the default Bash shell so that MacPorts libraries will take precedence over vendor-supplied libraries if both are present."
Either the docs need to be updated, or there is probably a bug in the installer.
