one of my boxes is such a "obscene" 18.04 box. I do want to upgrade it since a 
long
time.

Upgrading it isnt hard, it will just break scripts and tests.
so not upgarding was the path of least resistance. But at some
point i need to upgrade it

Not just you. The last time x264 had a change that would make me install
from sources instead of using an older package was 2017, build 152.
While the last time FFmpeg added features… is not that recent since
features are more being removed these days, but still recent enough.

to 22.04 and 24.04 and it seems someone did unofficial backports

I use distribution provided packages unless i have a reason to do otherwise
If i have no such reason every case where thats not wroking is extra work

also if i take what you say litterally, then you provide an
argument to drop support for every distribution and require
every dependency to be from git head. I dont think you intended
that and i dont think that would be a good idea.

Maybe its just me but i find it desireable to be able to just
pull ffmpeg master head, build it and have it work on as many systems
as possible.
If for some reason a user needs git master of FFmpeg that doesnt mean
she needs anything else to be very recent.

You suggest people should just use release branches to get security updates
truth is, our release branches are sometimes behind git master

also we dont support releases. If someone finds a bug we demand reports
against git master.


thx

Then they can use security updates from old release branches. The
assumption that people will run Git ffmpeg but distribution provided
x264 seems flawed. They can update dependencies that are important for
them.
The distribution itself is certainly never going to update.
