Hello,
are there any recommendation how to organize own ports?
Should I keep them within official /usr/ports structure or rather separately?
If kept separately, how does it work with pkg* commands then?
For what it's worth, if you use cvsup then you can store your own ports
safely under /usr/ports. You can also store extra files (like extra
patches, for example), though I'm not sure what would happen if that
port got deleted. Probably just your patch would remain.
I have no idea if csup is safe in this regard, and portsnap was
definitely not safe, last I heard.
I'm sure you could easily concoct a solution where you kept new ports in
a separate tree, and had something like a Makefile to make links into
/usr/ports after each time you used say portsnap. A symlink to a
directory should work just as well as a real directory. I find it
easier to stick with cvsup.
