OK. Did some googling, startpaging actually, and found some commands. |
| 31 |
Obviously this is outside of emerge and I wish I didn't have to update |
| 32 |
it this way. Also, I haven't done this yet. The commands I found are this: |
| 33 |
|
| 34 |
|
| 35 |
wget https://yt-dl.org/downloads/latest/youtube-dl -O |
| 36 |
/usr/local/bin/youtube-dl |
| 37 |
chmod a+rx /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl |
| 38 |
|
| 39 |
|
| 40 |
Since I can't recall the last time I installed something without emerge |
| 41 |
doing it, I got questions. Should that work? I have wget installed of |
| 42 |
course. Will this be easy to undo when a replacement comes along? |
| 43 |
Delete a directory or something and it's gone?? Can I leave the current |
| 44 |
version installed since I can't upgrade and the current working one may |
| 45 |
no longer be available to re-emerge? I'd assume I'd need to include the |
| 46 |
path to it as well to make sure it runs the correct one?? |
| 47 |

I've seen forks already popping up. Is there any hope that one of those |
| 49 |
will be added to the tree until this sorts out? I read somewhere that |
| 50 |
it is being fought. I think EFF is involved along with others. Plus, |
| 51 |
with the forks already taking off, the RIAA didn't accomplish anything |
| 52 |
with this stupid action. It just created more options for people to |
| 53 |
install and use. Instead of playing whack-a-mole with one hole, they |
| 54 |
now have several holes to whack at. Sort of stupid to attempt this |
| 55 |
really. I suspect the RIAA is about to learn a huge lesson in how free |
| 56 |
software works. ;-) |

May do this later depending on responses. I don't use youtube-dl often |
| 59 |
but right now, I found a gold mine of videos I want to save. My DSL is |
| 60 |
to slow to stream them anyway so downloading them is best, plus I don't |
| 61 |
have to worry about them being censored for some stupid reason and then |
| 62 |
gone. I get them while I can. |

Thanks for any info. |
