https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2012522 --- Comment #10 from Maxwell G <redhat_bugzilla@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Hi David, There are some packages in the regular Fedora repos and rpmfusion-free that depend on youtube-dl that we'd have to deal with first. >From Fedora: gpodder gydl persepolis streamtuner video-downloader >From rpmfusion-free: celluloid gnome-mpv lives qmplay2 xt7-player-mpv xvst (I got these results by parsing the output of `sudo dnf repoquery --whatdepends youtube-dl`, so this also includes weak-deps.) I'm not sure if yt-dlp would function properly as a drop-in replacement. It is more than just a simple fork; it has many changes, new features, and different binary/library names. [Here][1] is a full list of differences between youtube-dl and yt-dlp. The last commit to `ytdl-org/youtube-dl` was on July 1at and the last release was on Jun 5th. There are 3.9k open issues and 870 open pull requests. I felt conflicted about completely deprecating the `youtube-dl` package when another user originally [proposed this idea on the mailing list][2]. After looking at those statistics, though, I guess it is fair to consider youtube-dl abandonware, as sad as that is.
