youtube-dl is lagging behind in artik repositories

25 April 2020, 08:17:17

Fellow artik users and developers,

`youtube-dl` is lagging behind the current release from its home page.
Current: 2020.03.24
Artik: 2020.03.01

Is this delay a common one?

Python-pip is your saviour.

1. Install python-pip : >>> pacman -S python-pip <<<
2. Install newest version of youtube : >>> pip install youtube-dl<<<
3. List installed : >>> pip list <<<

youtube-dl is an arch linux package not an artix one. Please double check your archlinux mirrors (/etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch). Whatever mirror you are using is lagging behind. The evowise is known to be very far behind for some people however it is not the default anymore. Archlinux changed their default mirrors on April 11th.

Thanks mate. For some reason my mirrorlist-arch has not got updated (evowise was my primary mirror, until I comment that). I got it working now.

Thanks mate. This is what I was using as an alternative solution, however system-wide solution to be better overall.

The solution would be as an example:

Code: [Select]

pacman -S reflector
reflector --score 10 --protocol https --save /etc/pacman.d/mirrorlist-arch
