What is the “/usr/local/src†folder meant for?
2 answers
I know this is rather subject to opinion but what are some good choices where on the file system to locate the source code of a build that the server builds (let's say it's a build/integration server)? E.g. there is /usr/src but I think that is rather a conventional location for shell-related stuff (correct me if wrong). How about /usr/local/src?
E.g. right now I check out foo (one of our apps we integrate) source code in /var/lib/foo but I think that may be a misleading reference. Of course it doesn't matter for execution purposes but I am trying to get in line with the convetions.

Unfortunately the accepted answer there is slightly wrong (don’t use/usr/local/srcfor builds).

What is the "/usr/local/src" folder meant for? addresses /usr/src and /usr/local/src. The FHS says those directories should only be used for reference purposes.
For a build system I would use a temporary directory under /tmp, or the home directory of the (system) user which runs the builds, or a dedicated directory under /srv (e.g. /srv/workspace for Jenkins’ workspaces).
I wouldn’t use /var/lib/foo, that’s intended to store foo’s variable state, not its source code.

I don't like that those dirs have a general (usually human caused but also often caused by apps) tendency to collect a lot of trash, such as log files and miscellaneous other junk
