The qt issue has been resolved, but then came a python 2.x issue which
has also been resolved. Now there is an unresolved v4l issue.

If you feel like it, please install qt47 on your system (the 4.7.0-8_14
build is recommended and is the el5 repo), you will also need the
package with atrpms' macros, e.g.

        yum install atrpms-rpm-config qt47 qt47-devel qt47-webkit-devel

next grab the latest 0.24 src.rpm. Try to build with

        rpmbuild --rebuild --without pulseaudio --without crystalhd mythtv-0.24-250.src.rpm

and you will hit the v4l issue. It doesn't look too difficult to fix, I
wonder how this got broken in the first place. But just because it looks
trivial (e.g. swapping out a header file) it may be not, so it need some
careful digging to understand the change and get it back t working.

Please reply on atrpms-devel, if it's about technical issues (like
having a fix ;).
