I tend to keep my SBo's in /usr/local/slackbuilds. Then when I untar
them, they reside, along with the source which I download, in
/usr/local/slackbuilds/<package_name>.

I like to keep all of my packages in /usr/local/packages, and create a
symlink there so I can get any package via HTTP. It's convenient, much
less messy than /tmp, which I like to keep cleaned out, and makes for
easy re-distribution, rollbacks, and use of packages later.

Change the output line in <package_name>.SlackBuild from /tmp to:

OUTPUT=${OUTPUT:-/usr/local/packages}

I also change this to be the default in sbopkg too. Of course, you'll
need to:

# mkdir -p /usr/local/packages

I hope that helps!

Kindest regards,
