# deno is technically a optfeature, but it is needed for proper YouTube
# support and most users would expect that to work out-of-the-box
# (there are alternatives like nodejs but upstream disables support by
# default due to security concerns, users are on their own for these)
#
# yt-dlp-ejs requires pinning due to yt-dlp checking sha512sum of .js,
# live ebuild users may need to use the self-updater method if out of
# sync as there are no plans for a yt-dlp-ejs live ebuild at the moment
# (should "typically" be updated in Gentoo within 24h if willing to wait)
