2020-03-13 19:29:11 Amr Ibrahim description This package has been broken in Trusty since two years now. This package should always be backported from the development release (now Xenial) because the target web services are always evolving. The rationale for the SRU: 1) The package is a small command-line program 2) Regressions don't make sense since the package becomes useless anyway 3) Packaging burden is small since the package starts from Debian unstable then Ubuntu development release This package always breaks and should always be backported from the development release to the current LTS releases because the target web services are always evolving. The rationale for the SRU: 1) The package is a small command-line program 2) Regressions don't make sense since the package becomes useless anyway 3) Packaging burden is small since the package starts from Debian unstable then Ubuntu development release

2021-08-27 08:54:22 Robie Basak description This package always breaks and should always be backported from the development release to the current LTS releases because the target web services are always evolving. The rationale for the SRU: 1) The package is a small command-line program 2) Regressions don't make sense since the package becomes useless anyway 3) Packaging burden is small since the package starts from Debian unstable then Ubuntu development release [Triage Notes] This request is approved but is waiting for a volunteer to work on it. I'm also going to rename this bug. "Always backport newer versions" is an impossible bug to fix because the bug can never be marked resolved, and is thus not a helpful thing to track. I'm going to change it to a particular version so that the bug can actually have a specific goal. If/when the goalpost moves, the bug title can be updated if the previous goal is unlikely to be achieved. If the goal is achieved then we'll mark it Fix Released, and the next time an update is required, please use a new bug to track that. To start, I'm going to take the statement from @asciiwolf "The latest manually installed youtube-dl package from hirsute works fine" and assume that 2021.04.07-0ubuntu1 and above still works, but 2020.03.24-1 and lower does not work. So this bug, for now, can track a backport of 2021.04.07 or higher to Focal and Bionic, and can be marked Fix Released for Hirsute and the current Ubuntu development release. [Original Description] This package always breaks and should always be backported from the development release to the current LTS releases because the target web services are always evolving. The rationale for the SRU: 1) The package is a small command-line program 2) Regressions don't make sense since the package becomes useless anyway 3) Packaging burden is small since the package starts from Debian unstable then Ubuntu development release
