[Neurodebian-devel] afni, fsl commands in path by default?

[Yaroslav Halchenko]

man fsl
man afni

provide glorious details on how to tune bashrc

the reason why it is not so by default is simple -- collisions among
cmdline utilities this toolkits provide.  That is why any fsl-VERSION
pkg also provides /usr/bin/fslVERSION-* symlinks

hope this helps

Given how easy it would be to make afni and fsl commands appear in the executable search path by default (see below), is there some benefit to the current setup that justifies the considerable confusion it has created for users?
