Thanks for that, Richard.  I found the two pages but only 
https://github.com/MythTV/mythtv
appears to have a download option, which gives a single zip file and 
unpacks, twice, to give the full works as before - but, of course, updated.

It still fails looking for the VERSION file which I find at
/home/john/rpmbuild/BUILD/mythtv-0.27/mythtv-master/mythtv/VERSION

That contains
SOURCE_VERSION="v0.28-Pre"

while EXPORTED_VERSION contains something that looks OK
SOURCE_VERSION="682f5b5"
BRANCH=" (HEAD, master)"

The terminal shows
/var/tmp/rpm-tmp.rROHDn: line 55: cd: mythtv: No such file or directory

and that script reads:
(54)##### MythTV
cd mythtv
# Set the mythtv --version string
cat > VERSION <<EOF
SOURCE_VERSION=v0.27-pre2-583-g031c724
BRANCH=master
EOF  .....

I did try earlier to rehack my SL6 hack of an earlier version of your 
fixes specfile but when that didn't work - can't remember how - I 
decided to try upstream (?).  I'll look at yours again.  Is it 
accessible somewhere without the SRPM?

Thanks again,

John
