I think this is too many to maintain.
I would argue you should only support:
2.8, 3.2, 3.4, 4.1 and 4.4
2.8 (Ubuntu LTS 16.04 + RHEL7)
Ubuntu ended support for 16.04 last April. And is the ffmpeg RHEL7
package official, or is it one of the Distros that shipped libav and
users provided custom ffmpeg packages for them (Like SUSE)?
3.2 (Debian Stretch)
3.4 (Ubuntu LTS 18.04)
4.1 (Debian Buster)
This is Old-Stable. Current Stable (Bullseye) uses 4.3, which also needs
to be supported.
4.4 (master)
Because:
- 4.0 is only OpenMandriva, and even the link says 4.4
- 4.2 is only used by Fedora 32, that is EOL
Agree with dropping these two, as i pointed in other replies.
I would also discuss with Debian, to see if Stretch can be updated to 3.4, but
that's a different topic.
jb
they are used by maintained distributions as listed on
https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Downstreams
(hint, please keep this page updated so release work is targeted to where its
most usefull)
why 4.1 again ? because debian security people asked about the newly
accumulating fixes in the branch and the next release and IMHO it makes sense
thx
