Hi Andres, you have fixed the bugs in youtube-dl in d/changelog and have set target distribution to "unstable" which in those teams I'm working with is a signal that the package is actually uploaded. Since this is not the case I have reset it to UNRELEASED when I fixed the watch file (no matter whether we want to discontinue youtube-dl or not I think its sensible to have a working watch file).
Since I'm not sure whether the package should be uploaded as is I simply leave it to you. I'm perfectly fine with the switch to yt-dl - I just did not any test of the compatibility script thus I would not feel good to upload. BTW, before uploading we should then outdated information from README.source and either replace it by something more sensible or remove it at all. I'm also wondering whether the string 2021.12.17+really-yt-dl-2022.11.11-1 is a better version number than just increasing the Debian revision. For those who are interested I uploaded the latest version of youtube-dl to bullseye-backports since there was a report that the current version in bullseye has problems. Regarding backporting yt-dlp: I would volunteer to upload yt-dlp also to stable backports. However, I will do so only if the package is maintained on salsa where I can easily push the branch to the development repository. (To be clear here: I do not need hints how I can push to some other locations. I know how it works but I do not volunteer to do so.) Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de
