If you repeatedly fail to use the issue template, we will block you from ever submitting issues to Homebrew again.**\r\n\r\n- [x] are reporting a bug others will be able to reproduce and not asking a question. If you're not sure or want to ask a question do so on our Discourse: https://discourse.brew.sh\r\n- [x] have a problem with `brew install` (or `upgrade`, `reinstall`) a single, official formula (not cask)? If it's a general `brew` problem please file this issue at Homebrew/brew: https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/issues/new. If it's a `brew cask` problem please file this issue at https://github.com/caskroom/homebrew-cask/issues/new. If it's a tap (e.g. Homebrew/homebrew-php) problem please file this issue at the tap.\r\n- [x] ran `brew update` and can still reproduce the problem?\r\n- [x] ran `brew doctor`, fixed all issues and can still reproduce the problem?\r\n- [x] ran `brew gist-logs <formula>` (where `<formula>` is the name of the formula that failed) and included the output link?\r\n- [x] if `brew gist-logs` didn't work: ran `brew config` and `brew doctor` and included their output with your issue?\r\n\r\n# Formula\r\n\r\n```bash\r\n$ brew gist-logs youtube-dl\r\nhttps://gist.github.com/543e61022e7425124379073ce5c0e0e6\r\n```\r\n\r\n# Description\r\n\r\nIt would be great if the Homebrew installation of `youtube-dl` would automatically link the latest version. \r\n\r\nThis done for almost all, if not all, other apps. For example, for Python3:\r\n\r\n```bash\r\n$ ls -l `which python3`\r\nlrwxr-xr-x  1 tdegeus  admin  36 Mar 12 09:09 /usr/local/bin/python3 -> ../Cellar/python/3.6.4_4/bin/python3\r\n```\r\n\r\nI.e. a link is created in the usual location (`/usr/local/bin`) that points to the latest version in the `Cellar`. \r\n\r\nFor `youtube-dl` the desired behavior would be\r\n\r\n```bash\r\n$ ls -l `which youtube-dl`\r\nlrwxr-xr-x  ... /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl -> ../Cellar/youtube-dl/2018.03.20/bin/youtube-dl\r\n```\r\n\r\nwhich updates with every update.\r\n\r\n# What I have done\r\n\r\nI have tried to look into the formula and other formulas to see if I would be able to do this myself. But currently, I cannot say that I understand exactly what I would need for this."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/comments/376108875","html_url":"https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/25774#issuecomment-376108875","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/Homebrew/homebrew-core/issues/25774","id":376108875,"user":{"login":"ilovezfs","id":5268928,"avatar_url":"https://avatars2.githubusercontent.com/u/5268928?v=4","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/ilovezfs","html_url":"https://github.com/ilovezfs","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ilovezfs/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ilovezfs/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ilovezfs/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ilovezfs/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ilovezfs/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ilovezfs/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ilovezfs/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ilovezfs/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ilovezfs/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2018-03-26T09:46:35Z","updated_at":"2018-03-26T09:46:35Z","author_association":"OWNER","body":"This is already the case.\r\n```\r\niMac-TMP:~ joe$ ls -l /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl \r\nlrwxr-xr-x  1 joe  staff  46 Mar 26 02:45 /usr/local/bin/youtube-dl -> ../Cellar/youtube-dl/2018.03.20/bin/youtube-dl\r\n```"}}
