[Python-apps-team] Bug#933909: subdownloader: CLI broken

[Mattia Rizzolo]

Control: tag -1 upstream

Hi,

thank you for reporting this bunch of bugs.

As you probably noticed, this is a release candiadate version, and IME
those are only few of the issues it has: the usability of the graphical
interface was also quite impacted.

Alas, it seems upstream stalled a bit, with no new commits for more than
a year :(

Could I suggest you take this directly to upstream in
https://github.com/subdownloader/subdownloader/issues ?
For myself, it's unlikely I'll find any time to properly figure what is
going on, I mostly packaged the 2.1~rc4 release just because I was
curious on how the refactor and porting to pyqt5 was going...

I suggest to make that another bug!

Well, the manpage is autobuilt by sphinx, so that's coming from upstream
as well, but it would probably be best to track it down first before
reporting it as a bug as well.


Thank you again for reporting these issues, and I'm sorry I'm currently
unable to help you further.
