Yes, the FreeDOS LSM format is basically the Linux LSM file format. (Our
standard was forked from the earlier LSM version 3 format, which is why
you see "Begin3" in our LSM files.) LSM provided a handy way to capture
the metadata about a package, so you know who wrote it originally, who
is the current maintainer, and where to find it.
I would use the most recent "Debug" that you based this code on. But
since you said "the fork is in some ways far from its FreeDOS Debug 1.13
roots" then you could instead set the "Original-site" field to the same
value as "Primary-site". In this case, that's up to you. But to maintain
the history, my suggestion would be to set "Original-site" to point to
the most recent "Debug" you based this on.
Do you mean this link [1]?
By the way, I just noticed that someone uploaded (presumably) my draft
FreeDOS zip package to [2]. I'd rather fix it first with all the sources
as discussed. No harm done I guess, though.
