Hi, people.

I'm not with my own computer, so excuse me for being brief.

Well, that's bad, but thanks for the notification that these problems
are already fixed in the upstream version. BTW, which file is it that
fixes it for your use case, Jiri?

I'm thinking of preparing a release with just a few patches on top of
the current release already in testing.

The problem is not so much that of building a new version every 10
days. The problem is that sites are breaking their layout and inner
workings faster than what a package needs to transition to testing.

I'm thinking of continuing preparing new upstream versions and
uploading them to sid and make a branch right now that will track
changes meant only for the future stable release... Holger, I
understand that you are interested in this, is that right?

Anyway, we may need to talk with the Release Team and/or with the
Stable Release Teams about these problems that youtube-dl has. Since
its coverage of sites has grown so much, it is quite likely to have
one site or another break every few days...

It works for me here on an Ubuntu system with uscan on the command line:

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
$ uscan --report-status
(...)
uscan: Newest version of youtube-dl on remote site is 2017.02.22,
local version is 2017.02.07
uscan:    => Newer package available from

uscan info: Scan finished

Doesn't it work for you with plain Debian? Unfortunately, I'm not with
my keys here, or I would have already uploaded a fix for this issue...


Thanks for the feedback,
