[Slackbuilds-users] youtube-dl DOWNLOAD= moved ?

[Konrad J Hambrick]

Dimitris --

The DOWNLOAD= URI in this week's youtube-dl.info was also incorrect.

When I 'found' and downloaded the File, the MD5SUM= in the youtube-dl.info
File was OK and I was able to build a working youtube-gl version 2018-07-04


Ed --

Yes, the URI for the youtube-dl file is predictable.

The youtube-dl releases are here:

https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/releases/

Each YYYY.MM.DD Version is in a ~/YYYY.MM.DD/ subdirectory ( I dropped the
https so gmail does not auto-link the 'url' ):

github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/releases/YYYY.MM.DD/

And each of the versioned tar.gz files is:

github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/releases/YYYY.MM.DD/youtube-dl-YYYY.MM.DD.tar.gz

So for example, the DOWNLOAD= setting for Version 2018.07.04 should have
been:

DOWNLOAD="
https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/releases/download/2018.07.04/youtube-dl-2018.07.04.tar.gz
"

At least the pattern works for now, until they reorganize github :)

This Q&d script will generate a working youtube-dl.info DOWNLOAD= URI for a
DateStamped Version:

It can also generate the URI for the corresponding MD5SUMS File for
checking the downloaded file.

# --- cut  here ---
#!/bin/sh

URI="https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/releases/download"
VER="<<VERSION>>/youtube-dl-<<VERSION>>.tar.gz"
MD5="<<VERSION>>/MD5SUMS"

DoMD5=0

[ "$1" = "-m" ] && DoMD5=1 && shift

[ $# -lt 1 ] && echo "usage `basename $0` Version [ Version ... ]" >&2 &&
exit 1

for Str in $@
do
   Ver="$(echo "$Str" |sed -e 's/\-/./g')"       # because I am old and
forgetful ...

   if [ "$DoMD5" != "1" ]
   then
      echo "$URI/$VER" |sed -e "s#<<VERSION>>#$Ver#g"
   else
      echo "$URI/$MD5" |sed -e "s#<<VERSION>>#$Ver#g"
   fi

done
# --- cut there ---

Example ... The next version of youtube-dl is 2018-07.10

$ ./.gen-uri.sh 2018.07.10

https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/releases/download/2018.07.10/youtube-dl-2018.07.10.tar.gz

There is also an MD5SUMS file ... get it ...

$ ./.gen-uri.sh -m 2018.07.10

https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/releases/download/2018.07.10/MD5SUMS
