Details

Description:
The package installs all of its headers in /usr/local/include, contrary to the Arch packaging guidelines, see https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_package_guidelines#Package_etiquette. The appropriate path would be /usr/include.

Looking at the PKGBUILD, it doesn't seem to do anything wrong. This is likely an upstream issue, but until it is fixed (if it is fixed), I think it is reasonable that the package should move the files to adhere to the package guidelines. I'm attaching a patch suggestion.

Additional info:
* package version: 3.0.8-1
   0001-Workaround-for-upstream-... (1.2 KiB)

If it's an upstream problem, it would be good if you could report it there too.

I have now reported it. Unfortunately upstream requests that you send bug reports via mail and there doesn't seem to be a public bug tracker so there's no way to monitor progress.
