Hello Ankur,

Thank you for warm welcome on the mailing list.

Thanks for showing me proper way about bundled libraries either.

Yes, it looks that there is a lot of work and effort before me,
specially that I am beginner in preparing Fedora packages.

The bright side of this work is that Fedora will be richer about new
packages and I will acquire more experience in packaging while preparing
these packages :-)

Thanks again for your help.

Best regards.
