I now have an el7 build installed, with no need to update the DB from my 
0.28-pre build.  I had to rename the new 'mythtv' package and
yum erase the earlier version, then use the yum install line above.

My earlier version had been built with MySQL-python and without 
mesa-vdpau-drivers, and had been working for several months; my new 
install of mysql-connector-python might not have been essential, and I 
don't know if it is actually in use.

I have commented out the mesa-vdpau-drivers 'requires'; other people 
might not want to do that, but there's an el7 BZ:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1297276

I know (believe?) that rpmfusion doesn't do el7, but this seemed the 
most appropriate place to post.
