Hi

I had to run a program that is not in pkgsrc


While being pretty sure i should install it in /usr/local
or /usr/localbin or some such.

I wanted to be sure it was correct, but i couldnt find anything
on it.

i tried man hier:
but reading it several times and searching for /local
didnt give anything.

I read the guide and found this section
http://www.netbsd.org/docs/guide/en/chap-boot.html#chap-boot-pkgsrc

Section 4:15 installing software packages

And i think that either in this chapter or one after,before
there should be a section on installing "local" software
That is from 3rd party sources. (not pkgsrc).

There is also a discussion on bsdforums: here
http://www.bsdforums.org/forums/archive/index.php/t-12003.html


Also i read somewhere that NetBSD makes a directory for each program?
Cant seem to find it right now?

But now i install my program (genext2fs)into /usr/local/
or should it be /usr/local/genetx2fs/ ?


So shouldnt man hier mention /usr/local ?

like this maybe
----
usr/

	..
	local		for installing software local to
			the site, from source or 3rd party
			applications.


-----

and maybe put that into the guide near or in chapter 4.15?
