Hello there,

Over the last several months, I've had received several questions on
maybe we could move VDPAU headers to /usr/local/include/vdpau (nVidia
reference driver and our port normally installed them under ${DOCSDIR}).

After short discussion with nVidia folks and maintainers that are
particularly interested in better location of VDPAU headers, it was
decided that they indeed be better placed under /usr/local/include/vdpau.
The latest update of the port now provides two symlinks for that matter,
which should obsolete other ports' hacks like copying them manually to
local build tree. Even more, those hacks could easily break with next
update of nVidia driver port, as it was decided to move them from docs
completely onto new location. Hence this email. :-)

Thanks.

The only reason the headers are in the doc directory is because the
OpenGL headers are also in the doc directory. We simply handled the
two sets of headers the same. I don't know why the OpenGL headers
aren't installed in a compiler-accessible location. This issue was
briefly mentioned when creating our FreeBSD VDPAU packaging, but
there was no specific mention of the reasoning behind it.

Anyway, I hope things will straighten out soon enough.

Umm, why were headers installed in DOCSDIR in the first place?
