Hello, 

I am rather new to FreeBSD, putting a couple of new servers in production. I read a lot in the manuals, the man hier and googled around, but I can't find best practices for storing local scripts / apps. 

In Debian this part was easy, Debian never touches /usr/local, so I had this complete namespace for internal use. 

How to do this in FreeBSD the sane way? 

I thought of creating /scripts, but this seems odd, I thought of /opt/scripts or /opt/scripts/[s]bin hierarchy, or /opt/local/[s]bin hierarchy, but I am not sure how you are doing this sort of thing. 

I think what I like best would be to recreate a sort of /usr/local hierarchy under /opt/local. 

Best 
R.
