It's a long time since I tried using the 'canonical' myth spec file, and 
I have the impression that none of the devs build or wish to build myth 
rpms.  I have 29-pre-513 for f25 from a lightly modified version of the 
rpmfusion specfile, and a slightly earlier build for SL7 on my main box; 
initially I wanted to try out a patch, but I like the v29 version and 
have it on all mythboxen now.
