It should be possible. There are a few dependencies that are different, so we 
need to define BuildRequires and Requires statements based on distro. There 
is also the questions of linking against qt, some settings.pro (mythdvd & 
mythmusic) must be modified to allow for all features and the desktop entries 
should be modified. It would be possible to send a rebuild-options  to 
rpmbuild, but I'm not sure if that's the best way to go.

I would like that very much.  What would be the best way to upload them to 
atrpms? (I'm currently rebuilding the rpms.)

The questions is of course how much the specs must be modified and how to deal 
with the differences in the distros, but that is slightly off-topic for the 
mythtv-user list.
