It takes advantage of the spelled out rpm BuildRequires in either the ATrpms or RPM Fusion MythTV packages, but it doesn't actually *install* MythTV packages, just the build deps.

If I'm thinking clearly, its part of the yum-utils package, not part of the base yum package. It wasn't a default installed package a few years back, but I'm fairly sure it is now.

Heh. Well, it could be replaced with:

wget <atrpms or rpm fusion repo config package>
if <atrpms or rpm fusion repo config package> not installed; then
    rpm -ivh <atrpms or rpm fusion repo config package>
fi
yum -y install yum-utils
yum-builddep -y mythtv

:)
