[mythtv-users] Upgraded to Fedora 29, cannot install mythtv-plugins from rpms of master

With Fedora 28 nearing EOL, I dnf removed my mythtv rpm packages and did 
dnf system-upgrade reboot.  All went well, and all-but-one of the F29 
mythtv rpms previously built from Gary's script installed happily (after 
using --skip-broken) and most of mythtv works.

But mythtv-plugins fails to install; nothing provides mkisofs or 
cdrecord. I have installed the rpms for xorriso and wodim, which have 
put files with those names in /usr/bin, but still can't install 
mythtv-plugins.  I've run ansible too.

I suppose dnf is probably looking for rpm packages with the names that 
it can't find, and I could try a specfile requiring xorriso and wodim 
instead of mkisofs and cdrecord - but I wonder if this is a known 
problem with a preferred solution?

AFAICT xorriso and genisoimage both provide mkisofs, and wodim and 
cdrskin both provide cdrecord.

----------

I see a specfile update has appeared:  genisoimage and wodim.  Thanks! 
And it looks as if I may have missed one or two others recently.  Time 
for another git pull, I guess.

----------------

I re-cloned at

https://github.com/garybuhrmaster/packaging/commit/b499e547f001aa954637d65e16480e124ca6c596

and the build for F29 'just worked.'   A build under F29 for el7 using 
the normal CentOS repos and without libvpx worked too.   I had found 
earlier that the specially updated build of libvpx conflicted with the 
el7 kde plasma desktop.  I don't have any vpx content.

Both builds are installed and running.

Both my specfiles now have all instances of vpx within conditional 
clauses like

{{{
         %if 0%{?fedora}
         --enable-libvpx   \
         %else
         --disable-libvpx  \
         %endif
}}}

and those are the only changes.   I had previously dropped the 
requirement for the google fonts, because they are already in the myth 
download, but they just crept back in.

Thanks...
