[Fedora-packaging] bringing back to life a package (drivel)

[Andrey A.Kolov]

Hi, Paul,

Thank you for your support. Generally, I have a lot of stupid
rookie-type questions that probably are covered somewhere in
documentation, but there are many things to learn and I do not know what
to start with.

I wonder if my questions need to be posted in mailing list. Shall we
continue in public or it is OK for direct mails ?

Regards,

Andrey
