Where should user-developed modules live?

Post by dukester »

I see that the modules shipped with newLISP live in:

/usr/share/newlisp/modules/...

Should I use the above directory for "contributed" modules or make a home for the in my $HOME? TIA...

I would probably put them in a directory in my home directory to avoid them getting deleted on a newLISP re/uninstall. If the module is rarely used and rather application specific, I would put in in the applications directory.
