That said, it might have been more productive to file

for things that haven't worked for you.

It is far simpler for me build cdrtools package and have
fine result
in several minutes. And especially about wodim there was/is
many
bugreports and as I wrote, it was basically unmaintained.

But, I don't only criticise Fedora. When cdrtools is
insuitable for
Fedora, then probably may be in rpmfusion repos, and I can
maintain
it there. If so, can anyone give me any directions how do
it?
