Howto

Regular prompt based mode to create an RPM and optionally install and create an update schedule:

$> spotify-easyrpm

Automate everything for me and don't ask questions:

$> spotify-easyrpm --quiet

Set either "edge" or "stable" version of Spotify client:

$> spotify-easyrpm --set-channel edge

Create a new update check schedule:

$> spotify-easyrpm --create-schedule

Remove the schedule and local repo if present:

$> spotify-easyrpm --remove-schedule

Clean up the local filesystem repo:

$> spotify-easyrpm --clean-repo

Requirements

openSUSE Leap / SLE, or Tumbleweed

Auto Updates

spotify-easyrpm can create a systemd user timer job which will run daily and 5 minutes after user login. This will call the script to do a light check against the Spotify debian repo for a new release. If a new release is found, a build process is kicked off in the background and the final RPM will be placed on your machine in a local filesystem repo (/var/cache/spotify-easyrpm). The next time you run the system updater or zypper up you will see spotify-client appear as an update alongside regular updates.

If you want to modify the update check timer, the file is at $HOME/.local/share/systemd/user/spotify-easyrpm.timer Please see the systemd documentation for more information

To see a brief summary of the last run do

systemctl --user status spotify-easyrpm

If you want to see the full output of the last run you can do

journalctl --user-unit spotify-easyrpm

How to install
