Which is pretty good... esp. considering that some ports take months or more to get updated, esp. when security concerns pop up (*cough* java/jdk16 *cough*) ;-) But the point is, that even the author is no magician: should YT decide to switch to a completely different scheme, reverse- engineering that could prove very hard and up to impossible. We're lucky to have youtube-dl, and I hope author and maintainer will keep updating it as often as possible, as they do now. > Robert Huff -cpghost. -- Cordula's Web. http://www.cordula.ws/ _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
