Livestreamer is a Command Line Interface that pipes video streams
from various services into a video player, such as VLC. The main
purpose of Livestreamer is to allow the user to avoid buggy and CPU
heavy flash plugins but still be able to enjoy various streamed
content.

new services to be easily added. Currently most of the big streaming
services are supported, such as:
Dailymotion
Livestream

Bump minimal Python version of security/theonionbox to 3.6+
Convert Python ports to FLAVORS.
Ports using USE_PYTHON=distutils are now flavored. They will
automatically get flavors (py27, py34, py35, py36) depending on what

There is also a USE_PYTHON=flavors for ports that do not use distutils
but need FLAVORS to be set. A USE_PYTHON=noflavors can be set if
using distutils but flavors are not wanted.
A new USE_PYTHON=optsuffix that will add PYTHON_PKGNAMESUFFIX has been

compatibility.
Maintainers of these ports can update their requests dependency independently
as time for sufficient testing permits.
