Hi Gary.  Sorry, I'm just blundering around with this and don't want to 
be a pain after provoking your update.  I've applied Sergio's mockchain 
patch, and ran the BUILD_MYTHTV_RPMS script alone without grasping the 
overall structure;  that apparently downloaded stuff from git but the 
tmp file was empty.  Since then I've 'fetched' from packaging, but 
clearly not correctly. I need to read more about using git...
