No, I meant what I wrote. Please simply check for this when you do
the next
x264 update.
Today we have a new stable x264 git release, but still not have the
yasm to nasm commit.
if nasm is required to support AVX-512 , shouldn't we change also the
builds to nasm ?
Other question , should I build it in F26 ? (Fedora 26 GA is almost
here)
