Hello Petr, thanks for doing a rebuild and helping push this along. I called it
RPi.GPIO2 to distinguish it from the original implementation. At this point I'd
be fine with whatever naming needs to be done in order to get this into Fedora.

I had briefly been in touch with Peter Robinson about this package and he
suggested trying to get this functionality integrated with Ben Croston's
original RPi.GPIO, but I have had no luck getting ahold of him via email. The
advantage of obsoleting the broken RPi.GPIO package would be that the
replacement would be fully transparent, but this package, with the '2', would
still come up via a `dnf search RPi.GPIO`. However, due to the fact that the
fedora RPi.GPIO package has been quietly broken for years at this point, I
don't think many people were using it in the first place. Fedora was somewhat
painful to use on the rpi3 in my experience, however usage on the rpi4 is much
better and I think there is much more potential for Fedora on these newer
models. Recently I tested this library on my rpi4B and besides a few needed
tweaks to the tests it worked very well.

Anyway, I have been emailing Kushal every now and then since I saw comment 4,
but I have not heard from him and I am not sure how to move this forward.
