TL;DR is that 'ffmpeg' enables ffmpeg/libav support, 'libav' adds libav dependency, '-libav' adds ffmpeg dependency. That news item was withdrawn and the changes reverted because they wanted to consider handling it with a use_expand variable. If they do that, I guess we'll get another news item. (And if they don't do that, maybe we'll get the old news item back.) The discussion on -dev led to this poll too. https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-1010096.html Some may want to vote of they have a strong preference. Dale :-) :-)
