Re: Hosting the original youtube-dl sources on salsa?



I though I saw something about it being reinstated but without the.. rolling encryption I think they called it.

Obviously you would want to confirm and qualify that but it might change things.

Dear people,

As many of you may know, the RIAA issued a resquest for GitHub to take down
the youtube-dl repository.

The tree had some fixes that were *not* in the latest release that I
uploaded a few days ago (I am the maintainer of youtube-dl in Debian, just
to make things clear).

Since the tree was taken down (and, to boot, of the 18 forks listed in the
takedown request, mine was explicitly listed), I fear that me uploading the
lastest tree to GitHub is asking for trouble.

Given this situation, can I upload a backup of youtube-dl to salsa under my
user account?  I already maintain the packaging of youtube-dl in a different
repository that is both on GitHub and on salsa. Should I take it down from
salsa?

If these are not the appropriate mailing lists to send this to, please point
me to better places. I was in a hurry and I decided to send this as soon as
I found out places that seemed suitable.



Thanks for any help and support,

Rogério Brito.
