# README for yt-dlp
Yt-dlp is the current replacement for `youtube-dl` which is an incredibly useful cli tool to fetch media files from Youtube.

## yt-dlp upstream
The `debian/` comes from [Unit193's OBS sources](https://build.opensuse.org/package/show/home:unit193/yt-dlp) which should be the same as the yt-dlp from [Launchpad](https://launchpad.net/~unit193/+archive/ubuntu/test/+packages)

For a dpkg build, the application itself come directly from its upstream [source](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp).

## Alternatives
Debian [packages](https://packages.debian.org/sid/youtube-dl) `youtube-dl` which is the old version of `yt-dlp` and is out of date. Fedora already packages [yt-dlp](https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/yt-dlp).

The original project publishes its [own releases](https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases).

## Reason for being in stackrpms
This package is maintained in stackrpms because I want to be able to provide my systems a package for yt-dlp that is not directly dependent on anybody else's work or repositories.

## Dependencies
Described in the [debian/control](debian/control) file.

## Connections
My [OBS](https://build.opensuse.org/project/show/home:bgstack15) uses this stackrpms content for builds of my dpkg. It also fetches the upstream repository.

## Differences from upstream
Minimal differences in packaging. For the most part this is a direct rip-off of Unit193's work.
