[packman] youtube-dl dependencies

[Mathias Homann]

Hi,

youtube-dl is maintained on packman, because the developer updates it
sometimes several times per week, to make it work with video websites
that have changed.

The only way to keep a package up to date with that is by automatic
rebuilding via cron, which is what I'm doing right now. I have a cron
job that checks the version number of the sources in the package against
the latest version number on the website, and if they differ it triggers
a osc rebuild.

On the official build service they didn't like that idea...

Cheers
MH
