ytp-dlp.SlackBuild fails to upgrade package

Hello,

i am still using Slackware 14.2. I have an older version of software
yt-dlp

I wanted to update because it is not working for me. I have adapted everything in the package folder (yt-dlp.info and yt-dlp.SlackBuild)

When i try to execute the install script i get

Code:

yt-dlp/test/test_downloader_external.py

patching file yt_dlp/plugins.py

Hunk #1 FAILED at 88.

1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file yt_dlp/plugins.py.rej

can please somebody figure out what should i do next? perhpas i have to update some dependency?

Have you a version of python3 in 14.2?

Try updating it with

Code:

sudo yt-dlp -U

What happens?

Hello glupa4e,

if you use python3 3.7.2
http://slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/python/python3/

you need upgrade with python-3.9.18
https://mirror.slackbuilds.org/slack...ource/python3/

yt-dlp 2023.09.24
important changes
The minimum recommended Python version has been raised to 3.8
Since Python 3.7 has reached end-of-life

i did whatever you advised me to, unfortunately i am still getting the same error.
I downloaded python-3.9.28 from Slackware15 repo (although i am still using Slackware14.2) then package compiled and i installed it.

perhaps i should declare somewhere that default verrsion for python should be 3.9.18 as i have also older ones, but what will happen with other applicataions requiring those libraries, will they stop working?

or i just somehow can pass to ytp-dl script which python version to use?

I believe you have to give full path.

Otherwise you could use virtualenv to get something working. It would isolate the software with the specific python version.

Maybe this Appimage is working on 14.2?

I don't think the error is python related. Something is trying to apply a patch and it's failing, are there any lines in the slackbuild with the patch command in? If there are then they are probably not needed for the version you are trying to install, try removing or commenting them out.

Tonus, how to pass full path to install script?

There is a line in the SlackBuild

Code:

# if anyone's wondering, there's no python2 support.

python3 setup.py install --root=$PKG

should i replace $PKG with the full path to python3-9.18?

the only line i saw in .SlackBuild related to patch was

Code:

patch -p1 < $CWD/plugin_loading.diff

when i commented that out i got other errors

Code:

Hello glupa4e,

just to be sure, are you using this slackbuild from B.Watson http://slackbuilds.org/repository/15...?search=yt-dlp with this source https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/arc...3.10.13.tar.gz

today I updated yt-dlp-2023.07.06 to yt-dlp-2023.10.07, norhing to report.

hello bigbadaboum,
please forgive my stupidity. I copied SlackBuild file unzipped it and inside i put the source you've pointed out.
When i run ./yt-dlp.Slackbuild i get error

Code:

yt-dlp-2023.10.13/.github/banner.svg

yt-dlp-2023.10.13/pyinst.py

yt-dlp-2023.10.13/Makefile

yt-dlp-2023.10.13/requirements.txt

./yt-dlp.SlackBuild: line 57: cd: yt-dlp: No such file or directory

i see that in .SlackBuild on line 57 there is command

Code:

#57 cd $PRGNAM

i was able to understand that when starting the script, following 2 folders are created in

Code:

/tmp/SBo

package-yt-dlp

yt-dlp-2023.10.13

in the versioned folder , there is a subfolder

Code:

yt-dlp-2023.10.13/yt-dlp

and i think that the error that i am getting is because that subfolder does not exist under the generic package folder

Code:

package-yt-dlp - > it is empty

even if i copy it manually and create package-yt-dlp/yt-dlp , on the next run, everything gets overriden.

can you please let me know how to get out of this crazy situation?

yt-dlp.SlackBuild

line 25:

[QUOTE=glupa4e;6458719]hello, i tried SlackBuild from https://slackbuilds.org/repository/1...outube-dl-gui/

That the gui (graphic user interface), not the core software just a frontend.

I suggest you try to change what bigbadaboum advised.
