Run from the Gentoo directory (otherwise it won't find files correctly)
scripts/mythtv-buildebuild.py --version=0.25 --branch=fixes/0.25 --type=p
and
scripts/mythtv-buildebuild.py --version=0.25 --branch=fixes/0.25 
--type=p --packages=www-apps/mythweb

After this I tried to emerge myth and it complained a file was missing 
from the manifest.  That was when I noticed it could not download the 
tar file from github.

I've tried without "--type=p" and same thing, the only difference seems 
to be the ebuilds get named "rc" vs "p".
