[Slackbuilds-users] yt-dlp release

[Eugen Wissner]

Hello,

just to let the list know. I had the same problem with kitty that
requires newer Python as well. So I have a private python3.12 build for
Slackware 15.0 in my repository:

https://git.caraus.tech/OSS/slackbuilds/src/branch/master/python3.12

That hasn't helped with kitty that also depends on newer versions of
other C things, that are not available in Slackware stable.
But I was planning to move the package to SBo after finishing another
project I'm working on.

The problem is ofcause other Python dependencies, yt-dlp has further
Python dependencies besides Python itself.

Best regards
Eugen
