It looks as if Axel is busy with something trivial like moving :-)

I think that my problem is that my .rpmmacros are out of date.  In
particular, the myth .spec file uses a new macro "lib_package".  There
are likely other changes since I crafted my version of Axel's rpm
macros.

How do I find the definitive current version of these macros?  I see
hints all over, of various dates, mostly in mailing lists.  But none
seems to be blessed by Axel.

=> What should I use for .rpmmacros to build Axel's latest MythTV
   package on FC5?

The deadline for switching to SchedulesDirect is getting uncomfortably
close.

It sure would be nice if rpmbuild complained when it didn't understand 
something, for example, a reference to a macro that it does not know 
about.
