Sure, I am already planning a new upload, but there is a catch: youtube-dl
changes way, way too much almost every day and they don't have stable
releases, which means that whenever it breaks, I would have a hard time
having the release team to accept updates.
It is essentially infeasible to try to hunt which patches to apply to fix
the numerous sites that break (and we can be pretty sure that a lot of them
will break, especially youtube---which is one of the main purposes of the
package, after all).
So, if you could help convince the release team (and the stable release
team) to accept new uploads instead of insisting in only minimal patches to
fix what is broken (which would be like finding a needle in a haystack),
then I'd love it.
Thanks,
