I never used it because I don't use software written by idiots who distribute code that contains test cases of downloading copyrighted video that end up as Exhibit A on a RIAA take down.

In this file https://github.com/github/dmca/blob/master/2020/10/2020-10-23-RIAA.md are the words "Exhibit A, the source code expressly suggests its use to copy and/or distribute the following copyrighted works owned by our member companies: • Icona Pop – I Love It ...".

In this file https://gitlab.com/gjonesGitLab/youtube-dl/-/blob/master/youtube_dl/extractor/youtube.py is "Icona Pop - I Love It".

Also, this one looks like a copy on gitee (Chinese github mirror) https://gitee.com/mirrors/youtube-downloader/

Does anyone have a reliable mirror of the source code on something other than github?

EDIT: I found a mirror here https://gitea.eponym.info/Mirrors/youtube-dl

Yeap, looks like it will be for a while

Broken because github got a DMCA takedown request.

Thanks disastro, indeed it works again with python-setuptools 1:47.3.0-1, as mentioned in that issue.

Hey buzo! https://github.com/pypa/setuptools/issues/2196 will wait for what happens there before doing anything. Downgrading python-setuptools works on a brief test.

Does not work after building and installing the current version:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/bin/youtube-dl", line 9, in <module>
    for entry_point in distribution('youtube-dl==2020.6.6').entry_points:
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/importlib/metadata.py", line 504, in distribution
    return Distribution.from_name(distribution_name)
  File "/usr/lib/python3.8/importlib/metadata.py", line 177, in from_name
    raise PackageNotFoundError(name)
importlib.metadata.PackageNotFoundError: youtube-dl==2020.6.6

As noted previously rg3 redirected correctly to this date, but I updated the URLs now.

The date on the pkgver is the last tag available in git, usually a release they made if I'm not mistaken since they just use dates as version numbers.
