Please make sure to import the correct GPG key first:

$ curl -sS https://download.spotify.com/debian/pubkey_6224F9941A8AA6D1.gpg  | gpg --import -

And always build in a clean chroot. It is as easy as:

pacman -S devtools
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/spotify.git
cd spotify
pkgctl build
pacman -U <path-to-spotify-package>

It is expected that the package will break now and then, as spotify continuously changes download binaries, gpg keys etc (which is not appropriate, but we cannot change this). Please be patient if an update does not occur the next day, you can still use an existing spotify install or update the version yourself.

@lightofpast Just pushed v1:1.2.20.1210-2 that now allows you to set custom launch flags in a spotify-flags.conf file under $XDG_CONFIG_HOME or ~/.config :)

Also getting the same error as some other commenters:

curl: (22) The requested URL returned error: 404

Getting an error:

seems like the spotify-client_1.2.9.743.g85d9593d_amd64.deb is no longer available on the server. need to update officialPKGBUILD for other official clients.

I am reposting my last comment because it gets lost with the posted PKGBUILD spam (which does not even incorporate my suggestion to solve the missing source problems).

To avoid source 404 errors due to Spotify deleting old versions, I suggest to make web.archive.org save the actual source files whenever a new version is out, and link to those in PKGBUILD.

E.g., see available archived DEB files as of June 10, 2023.

With this solution, people could keep installing the non-latest version of Spotify until AUR package maintainer(s) had the chance to update to the newer release.

MarsSeed commented on 2023-06-10 19:12 (UTC)

It is not useful to spam the comment thread by posting full PKGBUILD versions.

Please submit only short deltas, or upload your PKGBUILD somewhere, e.g. PasteBin.
