yes, and everything should work here as the branch and target is already setup.
But if you want to build mythtv you will miss a lot of dependencies
(a52dec, faac, etc), thoses are usually provided by the rpmfusion-free
section, but needs to be at the appropriate version for el7 for the
whole repository to behave appropriately. That's just what I mean by
bootstraping el7.
Then there is a case with x264/ffmpeg which is a special case of
circle dependency kind of bootstraping.
