"Dazed and confused for so long its not true"

Once upon a time, master svn had a contrib folder which contained some 
nice scripts, for fedora or ubuntu which were to be moved to the proper 
spot and used to start the backend daemon. One of those scripts ended up 
as /etc/rc.d/init.d/mythbackend.

Those helpful scripts no longer exist in git master. I understand that 
versions may be provided by packagers, but none seem to exist otherwise.

So I am dazed and confused. I re-installed this desktop to Fedora 16 a 
couple of weeks ago and I now have a pre-start.sh script and a 
mythbackend.service unit script,

*And I have no idea where they came from.*

I did not use a prepackaged rpm.

To check, last night I created a virtual on the laptop and installed 
fedora 16, No systemd mythbackend.service script.
Thanks for the pointer Jesse, but it's a dead end.

Updated and ran my usual dependencies script (checking for and adding 
packages from atrpms). No systemd script.

Did a git clone of master and ran a build of mythtv alone The build 
script ends with a 'systemctl start mythbackend.service. Got this:

make[1]: Leaving directory `/opt/mythtv/mythtv/locales'
Installing mythtv
Completed mythtv build
Redirecting to /bin/systemctl  start mythbackend.service
Failed to issue method call: Unit mythbackend.service failed to load: No 
such file or directory. See system logs and 'systemctl status 
mythbackend.service' for details.

So now I am dazed and confused. Does anyone know where I got these from?

Three points for naming the song, the group and the year of the album 
from which the first line is taken. An extra two points if you are old 
enough to have heard it when it first came out and can remember that.
