I just wanted to point out that livestreamer seems to be entirely dead and the
project has been forked. As of this bugreport, the last change was Febuary 2nd,
2016, and while this isn't exactly a long time, considering it no longer works
properly with Twitch.tv (one of, if not the, largest streaming site atm afaik),
gives the impression that it is a dead project.
The fork is named streamlink and is located at https://streamlink.github.io/ and
seems to work well.
I'm not sure who is maintaining the livestreamer package, so I'm simply filing
this as a bug here and hope everything is forwarded nicely.

Thanks!
Do I read this correctly that they include some kind of
anti-military license in there? I mean I am very much welcoming
such an exclusion but with all the past discussions I had it lead
to the point where it is not compatible with free software.
Do we have to strip OCB from the source?
https://github.com/Legrandin/pycryptodome/blob/master/LICENSE.rst
Pycryptodome is a dependency of streamlink.

I got here from
<https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guix-devel/2017-04/msg00660.html>.
The streamlink package is available now from
f48feaa2848d999e100f27301680a01dc3bd7733
Should we still hold livestreamer?
Oleg.

If streamlink is really a continuation of the livestreamer codebase,
then we can mark the livestreamer package as superseded by streamlink.
This will cause the livestreamer package in one's profile to be
automatically replaced by streamlink when doing `guix package
--upgrade`.
Ideally both packages' executables would have the same name.
What do you think?

Seems it is a fork according to

If streamlink doesn't already provide a 'livestreamer' executable for
compatibility, I'd rather not add one.
It's a matter of taste, but I think we should avoid changing upstream
software for non-technical reasons or without overwhelming user demand
:)
This is in contrast to some distros like Debian which patch their
packages very heavily, basically creating new forks in some cases.
Note that we already had a rather high-profile deprecation with
executable name-change when certbot was renamed from letsencrypt by the
upstream developers. Any users had to adapt their scripts to account for
the new name.
So, my weak preference is to supersede livestreamer with streamlink
without creating the symlink.

Agree. I could merge if see no issues with the following patch.
