Barry sorry to brush over the pea n chips:

$ cd ansible

Then do the play book stuff

then cd to get back home
The wiki has you get  ~/build/mythtv/mythtv
I end up Saying Whiskey Tango Foxtrot and not making the build directory so I end up with ~/mythtv/mythtv
Which ever go there

$ cd build/mythtv/mythtv or $ cd mythtv/mythtv
THEN $ git checkout fixes/31

True you do not need the LAMP stuff if you are only building a frontend
Also packaging (IE make a deb) is a whole lot more.
