Move working directory to /var/slapt-src/

Why working directory for slapt-src is located at /usr/src/slapt-src/ while working directory for slapt-get is located in /var/slapt-get/?

Edit: http://software.jaos.org/git/slapt-src/tree/slapt-srcrc

Code: Select all

A question probably better to be directed to http://software.jaos.org/. However I suspect that since slapt-src (sourcery) is downloading source files to be used to build a package, the use of /usr/src is consistent with the other directories in that location which have the various slkbuilds for all the packages that are installed.

This is something that I also wonder of, while Slackware build scripts are stored in /usr/doc/$pkgname-$pkgver/, Salix OS build scripts are stored in /usr/src/$pkgname-$pkgver/.
