> For anyone curious as to where things stand with updating ffmpeg to 5.x: Based on local testing of dependents, it appears that upstream has made some breaking API changes. And that affects a number of ports, making the update a no-go at present.<br>

> However, I still need to dig into the details, to see if upstream provided any facilities to ease migration. If not, we may need to support side-by-side installations of ffmpeg 4.x and 5.x, in concert with the ability for users to select their preferred version via ‘port select’.<br>
> <br>
> In the interim, if folks are interested in testing their dependents against the latest upstream release, it’s available via port ffmpeg-upstream.<br>
