a821 [1] filed a deletion request for youtube-to-mp3-bin [2]:
Duplicated of youtube-to-mp3. Upstream does not provide sources, so this "-bin" package is not necessary.

Du hast einen Deletion Request for youtube-to-mp3-bin angestoßen.
Ich habe mit dem Maintainer für youtube-to-mp3-bin per Email Kontakt gehabt und ihn gebeten, sein chaotisches PKGBUILD zu ändern. Er hat darauf jedoch bis jetzt nicht reagiert.
Deshalb habe ich das youtube-to-mp3-bin erstellt, damit der Build fehlerfrei funktioniert.
Hi, Please do not create duplicated packages, even if you trying to fix the original with good intension. The normal procedure is to work with the maintainer and if that doesn't work, then submit an orphan request. Also, there are patches available in the comments. I'd like to mention that according the wiki [1] on Package Naming, it says that the -bin suffix should be used unless there can't be a source based package, like in this case. So IMHO, this package should not exist, unless a PM says otherwise... [1] https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Nonfree_applications_package_guidelines
