I have had 0.27-fixes running under ScientificLinux 6.4 for several 
months, with only the MythTV-sourced code needing to be built locally. 
Everything else is package-based, using a mix of repos, as quoted here:

For Myth I just (rpmbuild --rebuild)ed from the RPMfusion f18 SRPM, 
until the last time when I had problems that were probably a result of 
not clearing the rpmbuild folders first.  My last build was from a git 
tarball.  I made comments in the link about the advisability of using an 
el6 clone for Myth, but now I'm facing an f18 upgrade and may shortly 
feel differently.
