I am wondering directory wise the proper location for working with custom software not in the official ports tree. Working with a tutorial yesterday I noticed they used /usr/local/src for Crochet's svn checkout directory.
Is this the proper location? I was trying out a test port of OpenCPN and was unsure where I should be working. My first thoughts were /usr/ports but that did not seem wise so I went with /opt as I have seen on Linux.
What about compiling source code acquired from the web. Where is proper build location? Same spot?
