Milrod,

I've at a look at the spec file and its going to need a lot of changes. 
I should be able to do it over the next couple of days before the next 
release.

if you make a file /lib/systemd/system/mythbackend.service

with the following it should help. There are some further mods that need 
making but this should get you started
