Hi Richard,

Thanks so much for maintaining the mythtv packages on RPM fusion!  I 
rely on them as I don't have time to maintain packages myself (and don't 
want to get stuck on old software!).

I wouldn't be running mythtv today if it weren't for you - I have 
limited time and would have just bought a PVR.


Could you please answer a question about the dependences of the packages?
I'd prefer not to have a number of addons included but if I try to 
remove them dnf wants to remove all of mythtv.  Are they incorrectly 
marked as dependencies of the main mythtv packages?

For example, I'd prefer not to have the following items because the 
clutter the menus (my family is not used to having them) and I try to 
remove software I never use:
mythweather
mythnews
mythgame
mythzoneminder
mythnetvision


Thanks!
evade.
