And again, the cycle doesn't matter at all if your ffmpeg package is set up correctly.
I don't understand how I can without additionally repacking libx264/x264, but hopefully I will see what you're saying later today or tomorrow.
What Doug is saying is, you should do what 99.9999999% of all other Arch Linux users creating custom packages to replace repo packages do, and make your forked ffmpeg package provide "ffmpeg", thereby ensuring that libx264/x264 depend on *your* package!
Is the idea that I create a machine local repo that has highest prio and overrides arch extra/testing? Otherwise, I don't know how to unbreak the cycle while only building a custom ffmpeg.
