Hello,

The commit title should be just:

	package/ffmpeg: bump to version 4.1

The fact that ffserver is removed should be part of the commit log.

I'd like to hear from Bernd about this ffmpeg bump. If I remember well,
major ffmpeg bumps are typically breaking some APIs, causing build
issues with packages that use ffmpeg.

Have you verified that other Buildroot packages that use ffmpeg do not
break after this ffmpeg version bump ?

Would be good to mention in the sommit log why this patch is removed
(accepted upstream ? no longer relevant ?)

If ffserver is no longer supported, we want to move this option to
Config.in.legacy so that users who have configurations with this
enabled are aware.

Thanks!
