Yep, ATrpms. The most recent comment in the mythtv.spec file of the src rpm
is:

%changelog
* Sun May 29 2011 Axel Thimm <Axel.Thimm at ATrpms.net> - 0.24.1-273
- Update to latest git fixes (v0.24.1-4-gc321ee6).

Just missing the changes on the 30th. After your suggestion, a quick search
at atrpms.net finds there is already a bug filed:

http://bugzilla.atrpms.net/show_bug.cgi?id=1626

So thanks! In the mean time, I was (am?) toying with rebuilding the rpms
(rpmbuild is running in the background) with a newer tarball from here:

http://www.mythtv.org/download/mythtv/0.24.1

Are the required changes in there, or do I need to pull from git? I guess I
will find out when (if?) the build completes.

Thanks for the prompt responses and the great work.
Cheers
Chris
