Hello,
With gPodder, I get an "old youtube-dl" version warning, is this expected?
Why not use the yt-dlp package as depency instead? this package was
recently updated.
youtube-dl is still actively maintained, but the last stable release was
in 2021 and they only have nightly releases now:
https://github.com/ytdl-org/ytdl-nightly/releases/
Seems like they have not had a stable release in a while:
https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/31585
For now, you can replace the youtube-dl dependency in gpodder with
yt-dlp using --with-input:
guix install gpodder --with-input=youtube-dl=yt-dlp
However, as a distro we should decide if we:
1. follow suit with other distros and mark the yt-dlp package as a
replacement for youtube-dl, or
2. update the youtube-dl package to track the nightly releases, which
updates about once a week.
