I don't know if rpmfusion keeps old built packages available somewhere. <br>
There are packages for myth 0.28 built Aug 2016 here. nux! aimed to be <br>
compatible with other el7 repos, and IIRC was building for el7 before <br>
rpmfusion did. I used to use it without problems but felt that <br>
rpmfusion might be better long-term.<br>
