Linux newbie here........ I managed to install YT-DLP from backports (bookworm) on my Debian 12 system many months ago and all is well and it works fine. Today, I was thinking I should check for an update:
... but when I try and update from the backport:
... it says I'm already on the latest/stable version (2023.11.16). And when I look at Debian packages it shows 2023.12.30 as being in sid/unstable.
Guess I just need help understanding what all that means.
Is the version I installed from bookworm (2023.11.16) the latest stable version (according to Debian) and even though YT-DLP itself thinks 2023.12.30 is stable, it's still in sid and the Debian folks haven't given their blessing for it to be considered stable yet?
TLDR: Can I get yt-dlp v2023.12.30 outside of using sid? Or if I want that version, I have to use the sid backport and deal with potential problems?
Code:
yt-dlp -UCurrent version: stable@2023.11.16 from yt-dlp/yt-dlpLatest version: stable@2023.12.30 from yt-dlp/yt-dlpCode:
