Solved mps-youtube package doesn't exist

ldgc

ldgc

Greetings :)
I wrote pkg search mps-youtube and the package was not found, so I switched to the latest repository, however the result was the same. It is strange the package is missing, since multimedia/mps-youtube says to add the package with pkg install mps-youtube :confused:

shouldn't the freshports indicate that the package is broken?

No. Only ports that have a specific BROKEN field set in their Makefile show up like that. Freshports never builds anything, it's just a nice and convenient front-end to browse the ports collection.
 
So the warning "A package is not available for ports marked as: Forbidden / Broken / Ignore / Restricted" does not apply in this situation?
 
No, that message is a result of the BROKEN field in the port's Makefile. This only gets added when there's something seriously broken with the port that cannot be fixed. Ports that are marked as BROKEN get removed after some time.

Yes, the current stable branch, available on various systems' repositories, FreeBSD included, does not compile, and if it does, then won't work

Issue has been multiple times reported on github

You can clone and install the develop branch (the only currently working) using devel/py3-pip



First get the the dependencies listed in multimedia/mps-youtube, except for youtube-dl

Then install youtube-dl and mps-youtube with python3-pip

Code: 
doas pip-3.6 install -U youtube-dl
doas pip-3.6 install -U git+https://github.com/mps-youtube/mps-youtube.git

Should do the job
