Re: youtube-dl: needs version update to 2021.05.16 to continue working with youtube
Hi release team,
as you can see below it seems we are about to release with a non-working
youtube-dl. I took over this package recently and have no idea whether
it was discussed before whether there is some solution for this
frequently changing package.
I do not want to do an upload to unstable without your agreement and I
hope you can come up with some good advise what to do.
Kind regards
Andreas.
PS: Please be so kind to CC me in your replies.
