Subject: Re: [9front] installing things system-wide vs for user

Here's what I usually do:

I store repositories for system-wide applications in glenda user 
directory (/usr/glenda/src). mk install usually puts the files in 
/$objtype/bin etc, which is fine.

User-based apps I personally do like this: $home/src for repositories, mk 
install should install to $home/bin/$objtype. Often enough 
BIN=$home/bin/$objtype is enough there.

I try to keep /sys as clean as possible, with only occasional manual 
patches applied (eg smtp.c).
