TODO: Fix www/py-pafy so tthat it recognizes www/yt-dlp during configure.

For multimedia/lives in description add comment about turn on SYMLINK option:

YTDLP_DESC=			Install yt-dlp (youtube-dl fork) - turn on SYMLINK option

@nivit, does pafy run well with yt-dlp?

I think we should sunset py-pafy as it seems to have multiple issues and it's not maintained upstream (I haven't looked for forks)

I'm ok with multimedia/gpodder change

That thread mentions pytube as an alternative. However, py-pafy is required by multimedia/mps-youtube. Both are maintained by @nivit

I think this is an orthogonal issue that can be resolved an other time :)

I think we would only have to resolve this now if www/py-pafy were only broken when using www/yt-dlp and not www/youtube_dl. However, I just run-time tested multimedia/mps-youtube, py-pafy's only consumer, and it seems broken regardless which YouTube download tool py-pafy is built with.

Error fetching data. Possible network issue.
Youtube Error 403: The request cannot be completed because you have exceeded your <a href="/youtube/v3/getting-started#quota">quota</a>.

My inclination is to mark py-pafy and mps-youtube as BROKEN and set some EXPIRATION. Of course, I'll wait for @nivit to comment. Maybe it's just a matter of using an appropriate API key?

@jrm
Go ahead and mark it as deprecated (with a date) and broken. If upstream is dead there's nothing for us to do anyway.

VVD, are you all right with the current situation, i.e., www/yt-dlp has the SYMLINK option on by default? Do you still require a comment?

acm and nivit, I will commit tomorrow unless I hear objections.

Yes. For those who will compile lives+yt-dlp on their own.
But after remove youtube-dl from ports and make SYMLINK option mandatory on - then we can remove this comment.

Commit please fix for multimedia/lives: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=260282
