Do lsm files
provide us any value or serve any purpose?
Should we continue maintaining them or purge them from the source tree?

This may be a distro dependent thing. Arch doesn't use them
at all, but IIRC, the deb system made use of them somehow. Dunno - somebody
using one of the distros that uses them will have to help us out here.
I am willing to do the grunt work to update these files.
Yet after updating various branding issues, a remaining challenge is with each release the
files all need updating again. Anything like that is best suited for the computer with
scripts. Two fields should be updated with each release:
Version
Entered-date
Both fields should be updated to the release version/date. I prefer to see something built
into the build process, such that even GIT builds reflect correct information.
Another challenge is whether these files are still maintained and whether we should
resubmit our updated files to the lsm database.
Tim,
What is a good way to automate this? Comments?
