As well as looking at:

	https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/ffmpeg/tree/

I've found it useful to look at other work done in recent forks e.g.

https://src.fedoraproject.org/fork/yselkowitz/rpms/ffmpeg/commits/rawhide

and other distros; OpenSuSE and Arch are like Fedora; Gentoo is like Cygwin; 
OpenBSD is behind on v4 so skipped:

	https://github.com/bmwiedemann/openSUSE/tree/master/packages/f/ffmpeg-5

	https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/ffmpeg-full

	https://packages.debian.org/source/sid/ffmpeg

https://gitweb.gentoo.org/repo/gentoo.git/tree/media-video/ffmpeg/ffmpeg-5.1.2-r1.ebuild

	https://github.com/macports/macports-ports/tree/master/multimedia/ffmpeg

	https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/multimedia/ffmpeg
