Since the libx264 package does not include /usr/include and it's in x264 now, and because x264 depends on ffmpeg, I cannot use libx264 without also installing ffmpeg. For various reasons like missing features and wrong version I cannot use arch's ffmpeg package and have to build my own package, and this results in a cyclic dependency I cannot get out of. (lib)x264 packages have always been cumbersome due to 8bit vs 10bit and other issues and are uniquely special in arch, but since there's already so many x264 packages, let's have a libx264-headers package. Or keep it in libx264 since 8bit and 10bit cannot be installed in parallel anyway. Doug, you probably have good reasons for the recent headers change and see no way to fix it to make my scenario work, but I'd appreciate if you gave this a thought and shared your opinion. If you can't fix this, do you mind explaining what led to the removal of headers from libx264? I hope I don't have to build libx264 myself as well since my PKGBUILD would diverge or force me to build libx264 and x264 custom versions.
