Hi everybody,

Which is the proper place to uncompress and compile source code that
will be installed on /usr/local without any deb? It's /usr/src or
/usr/local/src?

For example, any program that I download from internet in .tar.gz file
where should be uncompressed to follow debian policy (one of the two
directories said above)?

Just an example, the linux kernel... I have never used the debian
packages and I have always used a .tar.gz. But where should I place
it? Will it work under /usr/local/src?

Thanks.
