OK, but I don't understand, where do I find the latest sources to compile
from?

I now understand. My opinion for that is definitively the 3rd option. Either
at the top of the "8" or just a little bit bellow is good practice for me,
as long as it's not too far from the top (that's at least how I configured
it in the example I posted with my code and what I think looks good!).
