I'm currently having some conflicted doubts about the /usr/local folder according to the standard.
In our application, we currently store our read-only application files in /usr/local/<appname>. While going through the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard it noted that no other directories may be in /usr/local other than those listed.
Another user on Stack Overflow quoted a text specifying that /usr/local/<appname> is supposed to be used, but I'm unable to find this part in the FHS.
Other examples I've seen on my machine are /usr/local/mysql and /usr/local/percona.
Are these simply not in line with the standard? Should we be switching to /usr/local/share/<appname>?
