Hi , Julian , that is the point, this is cvs , we don't have "upgrading
in parallel", I try rolling devel to branches and yes "overwrite the f20
spec" and what is in f20 spec is discard. Is the only rule of
organization that we have . 

But the main problem was and still is, lack of time , so I and kwizart
(writing off-list) haven't much time next days and he point to try again
(the mass rebuild) no this weekend but next weekend, meantime
ffmpeg-2.3.3 still on devel (I think) . 

This is an ancient system so it give much work do all mass rebuild, see
if we can make a new builder happen.

Kwizart roll back to ffmpeg-2.3 , because though we haven't patches for
vlc build against ffmpeg2-4 and lack of time of course . 

Please be patient ...
