well, there is for example line


2023-03-xx - xxxxxxxxxx - lavfi 9.5.100 - avfilter.h            Add
AVFILTER_FLAG_HWDEVICE.

but it does not tell me what exactly this flag does. For exact usage I need
to dive in git log/mail list ... repeat for all entries .....


btw, Cingg does support building with ffmpeg git, JUST this option
sometimes broke even w/o our patches!

--with-git-ffmpeg=https://git.ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.git \

for  git url git://git.cinelerra-gg.org/goodguy/cinelerra.git


you can move put thirdparty/src/ffmpeg.git.patch* if they fail to build, so
far it was working modulo CUDA update in late September (do we need also
ffheaders update? will it work on legacy nvidia drivers?)

I try to handle build failures as fast as I can, but as my 20 years long
history of using Linux (Slackware since 2005, before that Alt Linux 2.x)
tell me - I can't just jump over ALL problems I encounter, only simple
ones! So especially for me there IS ceiling on what kind of adaptations I
can do, no matter how much time I can throw at it (and other components
tend to regress too - mesa, kernel, wine, llvm ...). At some point it
become overwhelming.
