6880	RFE: document binpath option in ports.conf	cssdev@…	macports-tickets@lists.macosforge.org	Only after some digging through trying to get things running on FreeBSD did I realize why the port command couldn't locate /usr/local/bin/rsync. I eventually figured out how the PATH variable operates within darwinports.tcl, and then I found confirmation in BUG #1427 that I needed to overload binpath. I'm not sure if this might considered a dangerous workaround, as it can introduce non-system and non-DP conflicts. However, it would be helpful to have a comment in ports.conf indicating that that this option is available.	enhancement	closed	Normal	MacPorts 1.4	base	1.0	fixed		css@… markd@…
