Spotify-easyrpm is a script which downloads the latest snap package from the snapcraft.io repository and converts it into an RPM for installation. Automated updates are also supported and installed through the system update manager.
GPL-3.0-only
* Mon Aug 17 2026 David Mace <david@macemail.co.uk>
- Update to 4.0.1
* Give the built spotify-client RPM a timestamped release, so rebuilding
an unchanged Spotify version produces an installable package instead of
colliding with the installed version-release
* Verify the downloaded snap against the sha3-384 digest published by
snapcraft.io, and query the API over https
* Fail with an error when the snapcraft.io lookup fails, instead of
reporting the installed version as up to date
* Own the local repo as the invoking user at 755/644 rather than making it
world writable, which combined with gpgcheck=0 let any local user stage
a package for zypper to install as root
* Exit the prompts on EOF instead of looping forever, and reject answers
that are not understood
* --clean-repo keeps the newest build instead of deleting every RPM, and
clears out stale debuginfo / debugsource packages
* Disable the debug package, so no empty debugsource RPMs reach the local
repo and rpmbuild no longer warns
* Show a progress bar while downloading, and extract the snap quietly
* Validate the --set-channel argument
* Do not force X11 in the desktop launcher. Spotify selects it by default
again, and forcing it breaks startup on a session without Xwayland
* Leave /usr/bin/spotify-easyrpm alone when a package owns it
* Check dependencies on scheduled runs, where sudo cannot prompt
* Drop the unmaintained Mageia support, the tool is openSUSE / SLE only
* zypper ar: disable the package cache for the local repo @stanislav-brabec
- Drop the obsolete update-desktop-files requirement
- Require curl, wget and openssl, which the script calls at runtime
