Hi, I am concerned about releasing buster with youtube-dl as an included package.
The RC bug currently affecting buster (#930462) makes youtube-dl unable to download videos from YouTube. I realise it can download other sites as well, but as the package name specifically highlights YouTube I see this as a significant issue. There seems to have been a fix in sid but no unblock request as yet. That fix is also unsuitable for unblocking as it currently stands; if we do not fix it now, it would have to be done in stable anyway and it's not really suitable there either. I am therefore not confident at all that youtube-dl is suitable for stable and I am inclined to think we should remove it from buster. I am open to being persuaded about that. Do others have thoughts about this? -- Jonathan Wiltshire [email protected] Debian Developer http://people.debian.org/~jmw 4096R: 0xD3524C51 / 0A55 B7C5 1223 3942 86EC 74C3 5394 479D D352 4C51
