sources directory
 

Hi LF,

I'm trying to figure out where to store my sources. So far I've been using ~/src, but I get the feeling I should be using /usr/local/src.

The problem is that with /usr/local/src, I have to keep sudo'ing every command.

What do you guys do?

Regards,

Richard

Sources for what?

Default build directory is /home/<name>/tmp/

And for rpmbuild e.g. /home/<name>/rpms/

But any directory name in /home/<name>/ is usable : It's your decision.
..

But by using /home/<name>/tmp/ doesn't it imply that you do not keep the source files?

Oh yeah, I mean sources for software you build, e.g. mplayer etc.

Files in /home/<name>/tmp/ can be kept there forever, if you wish.

Also : As already said, any other directory name can be used.
