Works fine from mine

This week yes. Cat and mouse my fellow trucker

I have been a user for many years and it feels like the distro package works at least 51/52 weeks a year, so I'm not sure it's an issue more than with any other package.

Rolling release or every six months?

[ubercow13]

Rolling release. I don't think that reflects badly on youtube-dl but rather a problem with 6 monthly release distributions.

youtube-dl has an update command built in that bypasses the distribution's update system. Works even on Debian stable.

You could argue this is bad because it bypasses the distro release system, but then, Youtube also updates itself without the distro's approval, so the software that interfaces with it must as well.
