[FFmpeg-user] [EXTERNAL] Re: GitHub and Releases

Ok. Perfect. This patch https://patchwork.ffmpeg.org/project/ffmpeg/patch/DM6PR08MB60732B5D77656C74C8491C4F85749@DM6PR08MB6073.namprd08.prod.outlook.com/
was created using the master branch. Now to figure out why I get “Failed to apply patch.”. Apparently, something to do with the format I gather.

Any contributed patches should be developed against and apply to
master:
https://www.ffmpeg.org/developer.html

Often, they also apply cleanly to older branches. Yet that is only of
concern to you if you want to compile an older version with your patch.

If a contributed patch is eventually merged, it can be backported to
the old release branches, if it's considered a reasonable bug fix. This
backporting is then usually done by the upstream developers.

Cheers,
Moritz
