MarsSeed [1] filed a deletion request for ffmpeg-yt-dlp-bin [2]: This package is not proper. Source links to an ever-changing foreign binary tarball build of ffmpeg, without hash checking. Like a VCS package but for pre-built package. As it is, it is not useful to have as a pacman package. Pkgver is a dummy string and not the actual version of the build. Users won't ever get notified about updates. Also the build is not reproducible. And also this is totally superfluous: Arch repo carries latest stable ffmpeg, and there are VCS packages for ffmpeg on AUR. There are also third-party Arch repos that build VCS packages from AUR.
