Referring to @Freso's comment on 2021-10-22, is it possible to get the python imports working? I have tried for pafy but can't get it to work.

@Sematre I made you a co-maintainer if you want to implement those changes

This would be an awesome package if it were a real drop-in replacement. It would be better if this package provided an script at
/usr/bin/youtube-dl
that calls yt-dlp but with an additional parameter:--compat-options youtube-dl
.The script could look something like this (just an quick-and-dirty example):
A simple symlink just isn't a good replacement.

@Hekuran … If you want to have both installed, you could just, say, not use this package?
@Minmo Have you considered also making a symlink for the Python package? I wanted to make a package similar to this, but I also wanted to make sure any Python
import
s would continue to work. Not sure if there’s a decent way to automate this symlinking though.Hekuran commented on 2021-09-04 07:31 (UTC)
well yt-dlp and youtube-dl dont really conflict with each other, if for some reason someone wants to have both, using your pkg, they cant. how about a shell script in stead of a symlink. or maybe not at all. here is sth to think about :D
cat /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl
/usr/local/bin comes before the /usr/bin in $PATH , so by only commanding youtube-dl (which mpv requires), it will use yt-dlp, but if you want the OG you command /bin/youtube-dl or just change the order in the script.
or
what you have already done, and also symlink the old
youtube-dl
toyoutube-dl-old

@minmo
I see what you mean, and you're absolutely right about the scope and use of this same PKGBUILD. But just the short name "XYZ-drop-in" is not 100% immediately obvious . Maybe you could also improve/edit the "Description" with a few characters more, to make it crystal clear ? It doesnt cost you anything. Ex, add what you just explained ?
The thing you might be missing is when a common user types "youtube" and/or "dl" or "dlp" and is presented with a barrage of dozens of options. All with a very sparse "Description" and a confusing and similar "Package-Name".
Minmo commented on 2021-09-02 16:13 (UTC)
I think this package falls out of the scope of the mentioned issues as it is simply a symlink from youtube-dl to yt-dlp
By installing this you can install other programs that have youtube-dl as a dependency and only install yt-dlp
It is similar to the neovim-drop-in: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/neovim-drop-in/

EDIT: someone has also suggested:
ORIGINAL COMMENT:May I suggest that the maintainer of this PKGBUILD talk and negotiate with the the maintainers of similar PKGBUILD's ?
With such a fast changing thing like youtube-dl and its variants, by having many eyeballs watching the same PKGBUILD's, this would also means less work for you, the maintainer.
There seems to be a lot of interest in using yt-dlp as a replacement for youtube-dl. This has led to a lot of PKGBUILD's being created in AUR, like mushrooms doing apparentely the same thing.
This:
We basicly only need a yt-dlp "normal one", "-git" one and eventually a "-bin" one.
