Is this still a thing?

The procedure for stable updates is here:

https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/developers-reference/pkgs.html#upload-stable

Basically, we need to file a bug to release.debian.org including the
patch we want to apply to the package to fix the bug. Considering there
are fairly large changes between stable and testing, I am not sure the
change would be accepted.

But then again, this bug makes the youtube package basically useless in
stable so it should either be removed from stable, or updated to the
testing version. I have bumped the bug severity accordingly.

I am using the backports version, which works well, but the point of
backports is not to provide such critical bugfixes, but backport special
functionalities that do not warrant a full stable update.

I will file a bug against release.debian.org to start that conversation.

Bug#781180: Please add new youtube-dl in jessie-updates

[Nicholas Steeves]

Hello,

Because there was already an out-of-date version of youtube-dl in
backports, I thought I might be able to help out by updating it to
2015.11.27.1-1~bpo8+1.  Please let me know if you'd prefer if I look
for a sponsor @mentors.debian.net

To access further information about this package, please visit the
following URL:

  http://mentors.debian.net/package/youtube-dl


  Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

dget -x 
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/y/youtube-dl/youtube-dl_2015.11.27.1-1~bpo8+1.dsc

Kind regards,
Nicholas

Yes, I agree.

Yes, I can do that, but I would first need to know the procedure to perform
such updates. Since I am a bit short on time, can you contact the stable
release team and let them know about the user's needs?

Hi Rogério,

Thanks for maintaining youtube-dl.

Since youtube-dl is one of those programs like clamav that needs to be
kept up to date with upstream quite frequently in order to be
consistently useful, please could you arrange for the version you've
added to unstable to be added to jessie-updates?

Thanks a lot.
