GitHub Reinstated YouTube-DL but Restoring Forks Is Apparently a Problem

• Gitea

  282 42,341 10.0 Go

  Git with a cup of tea! Painless self-hosted all-in-one software development service, including Git hosting, code review, team collaboration, package registry and CI/CD

  

The gogs maintainer currently seems to not be doing much with it and seems to be ignoring security reports. I would probably recommend the gitea fork instead.

• youtube-dlc

  7 1,216 0.0 Python

  Command-line program to download various media from YouTube.com and other sites

youtube-dl's main feature is its frequent updates

Ah, yeah, now they do frequent updates. But here's a fork that I switched to for a while because the maintainers of the original youtube-dl were slacking off. :) https://github.com/blackjack4494/youtube-dlc

I can't believe the level of entitlement that comment exhibits. :)

My attitude (a bit tongue in cheek) is probably why many open source authors abandon their products. Too much work, no thanks, lots of bitching.

"I just keep a GOGS instance that auto-mirrors youtube-DL these days now, so I always have a copy."

I keep this in my local crontab:

Sure, I reported an issue to the Gogs maintainer over two weeks ago and he hasn't acknowledged it at all. Here's the public reference that their SECURITY.md asks for: https://github.com/gogs/gogs/issues/6534

Here's another one posted about a week ago: https://github.com/gogs/gogs/issues/6536
