Hello. A few days ago I tried reencoding several video files I have laying around to save storage, using libsvtav1 through ffmpeg, and then to my surprise (and frustration) I realized that ffmpeg distributed by GNU/Guix does not include such encoding library.
I checked the issue tracker and found out issues that indeed commented on this library missing, strangely enough, an issue with a patch was marked as solved on 16 February 2024[0], over a month ago, however when I check the source files I notice that the patch that includes a flag to enable this library is still not present on the latest build of ffmpeg yet[1]. Why? How does the merging process work on Guix? Why are issues marked as solved/done yet patches are still one month due, to submit upstream? Am I missing something or this is a mistake on the mantainers side? [0]: https://issues.guix.gnu.org/63095 [1]: https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/guix.git/tree/gnu/packages/video.scm#n1780
