---------------------------------+------------------------------------------
 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.
