[vlc-devel] [PATCH 1/2] share: add wrapper script for the YoutubeDL Python module

[Rémi Denis-Courmont]

Hi,

Of course not. We don't package a compiler, a kernel, a display server and a PulseAudio daemon. We don't package the decompressor binaries that the decomp filter uses. We don't even package ALSA and GL libraries that we have build-time dependencies on.

We need to provide sources for whatever we provide binaries. We don't provide binaries of YoutubeDL nor Python 3.
