yt-dlp: python portgroup disables livecheck

[ryandesign (Ryan Carsten Schmidt)]

Because of this addition to the python portgroup port livecheck yt-dlp no longer does anything. Can the python portgroup be improved so that this doesn't happen?

[reneeotten (Renee Otten)]

I guess one could check whether the portname starts with py- and only then have the PG switch of the livecheck in subports. That would probably resolve the issue you report here. But the way this Portfile is set-up is also not very typical so another option is that you just set the livecheck again in the subport.

I can take a look at some point whether my suggestion would indeed fix this and try to see if there are no other unintended side-effects.

That's the direction I was thinking of too. I think that's probably the right thing to do.

But I don't want to. :) The portgroups set up livecheck for me before and I think they should continue to do so. I don't think the way this port is set up is so unusual that it shouldn't be supported. I haven't looked but there may be other ports set up in this way that are similarly affected.
