Please make sure to import the correct OpenPGP key first:

$ curl -sS https://download.spotify.com/debian/pubkey_5384CE82BA52C83A.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, OpenPGP 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 :)

I've corrected the package now to build correct in a clean chroot.

Please make sure to import the correct GPG key first: curl -sS https://download.spotify.com/debian/pubkey_7A3A762FAFD4A51F.gpg | gpg --import -

pacman -S devtools base-devel

Edit: This solution doesn't actually solve the problem, so never mind.

Given that the key expired again recently, might be useful to re-add the comment about fixing the gpg key issue:

curl -sS https://download.spotify.com/debian/pubkey_7A3A762FAFD4A51F.gpg | gpg --import -

I hope the maintainer stops to change things so frequently... Just triggers too many unnecessary updates.

Maybe you should read the wiki: "As fixes and additional features are added to the PKGBUILD that influence the resulting package, the pkgrel should be incremented by 1."

It's about the resulting package, just pushing all that stuff that at the end was just about the installation process (anyways good that they were removed again...) and not influenced the resulting package was completely unnecessary. So we have to update ~10x to replace the package with the same files again?

@FoxBoron thanks for restoring this. My offer to maintain or comaintain still stands if you don't have time to update this package frequently, given your other extensive work as a TU.

@ToxicAven, the previous Maintainer deleted their account, this triggered a bug in AURWeb where the package was deleted with the maintainer (which is not supposed to happen). I discovered that, asked on IRC and the TUs restored the package.

What happened to the previous implementation of this package?
