--- Comment #10 from Maxwell G <redhat_bugzilla(a)gottm.anonaddy.com> ---
Hi David,
There are some packages in the regular Fedora repos and rpmfusion-free that
depend on youtube-dl that we'd have to deal with first.
From Fedora:
gpodder
gydl
persepolis
streamtuner
video-downloader
From rpmfusion-free:
celluloid
gnome-mpv
lives
qmplay2
xt7-player-mpv
xvst
(I got these results by parsing the output of `sudo dnf repoquery --whatdepends
youtube-dl`, so this also includes weak-deps.)
I'm not sure if yt-dlp would function properly as a drop-in replacement. It is
more than just a simple fork; it has many changes, new features, and different
binary/library names. [Here][1] is a full list of differences between
youtube-dl and yt-dlp.
The last commit to `ytdl-org/youtube-dl` was on July 1at and the last release
was on Jun 5th. There are 3.9k open issues and 870 open pull requests. I felt
conflicted about completely deprecating the `youtube-dl` package when another
user originally [proposed this idea on the mailing list][2]. After looking at
those statistics, though, I guess it is fair to consider youtube-dl
abandonware, as sad as that is.
Thanks,
Maxwell
