TTBOMK there are two sets of MythTV packages for el7 clones:  scrpms, as 
used by Kirk, and nux-dextop from http://li.nux.ro

scrpms has effectively taken over the ATrpms series, while nux seems to 
follow rpmfusion, which had more conservative policies that were perhaps 
less likely to cause bad interactions with other repos.  I used ATrpms 
for many years without problems but moved to rpmfusion when Axel's input 
waned.  Rpmfusion's policies meant that it didn't do Myth in el7 and I 
have been using the nux repo for the infrastructure that was needed to 
build Myth 0.28-pre, although my last build was several months ago.

scrpms builds 0.27-fixes more frequently than nux.  It's my impression 
that both repos are critically dependent on a (very?) small number of 
enthusiasts.

I see Richard has just posted about his rpmfusion progress.
