x264 should be a package dependency?

[fgnievinski]

I installed as per instructions in:

​http://winswitch.org/downloads/debian-repository.html?dist_select=raring

later I found it necessary to do:

  sudo apt-get install x264

therefore, maybe x264 should become a dependency?

I'm using Ubuntu 13 LTS.

x264 is not a hard dependency for xpra (though it is the best free encoding by a long way).
Problem is that Debian / Ubuntu make if very hard to depend on that package as the package name itself is versionned (makes packaging painful):

• ​libx264-120 for precise
• ​libx264-123 for saucy
• ​libx264-142 for trusty

But I'll see what I can do.
FYI: this is the bug tracker for winswitch, xpra's is ​here (closing here)
