I'm now again able to build rpms for master, and have a working FE/BE 
F24 box based on them.  I started from Richard's 0.28-10 specfile and 
have made only minor changes to use the downloaded tarball in which the 
top directory is 'mythtv-master'. These make dnf see it as a downgrade 
from 0.28.  The only patches are for the audiograph display, where my 
'improvements' are still not doing what I hoped.

Switching away from the non-rpm build above meant that I had to revert 
the shared-library path change, and I have removed the stated dependency 
on mythweb.  I removed that on ffmpeg too, but then found that 
MythArchive needs mjpegtools which brought it back.

I haven't tried a rebuild for SL7 yet because of the current breakage of 
DVD playback.

Thanks to all concerned.
